Utilities SNAFUs, round -- uh, four or five, I think.
Christina is spending the day at home, doing computer-related stuff that can best be done away from the distractions of the office. I went home for lunch (the joys of the five-minute commute), and our meal of leftovers was interrupted by a clomping noise on the side of the house, followed by the sound of the uninterruptable power supply (UPS) beeping in the living room. Our power was off.
We confronted the poor guy in the Florida Power -- excuse, me, "Progress Energy" -- truck. Fortunately, a few minutes' conversation and a quick consult of his work order revealed that he was actually supposed to be cutting off the garage apartment, 1408 1/2. How exactly that tenant plans to live without power -- and apparently it was initiated by him, not by his failure to pay his bills -- is beyond me, but our landlady did say he was eccentric.
Last night our cable modem wasn't working, an apparent glitch on Time Warner's part, but a quick phone call got it working again. I can only hope that our utilities troubles are over. Y'know, until the next thing.
