I arrived home at the unGodly hour of 9pm last night.No electricity. What a surprise. Four phone conversations with the friendly folk at Nevada Powere later and I felt just like this bear. I was ready to rip off heads and roar loudly to announce my annoyance and displeasure.
"Mr. X, they will be there within the hour."
Within the hour comes and goes - as does my patience.
"Mr. X, we are trying to get them out there, but people with outages have priority" - at which point fire started emitting from all my crevices. "Trying" to get out here? The only thing Nevada Power was "trying" was my PATIENCE. And people with outages have priority? Oh no, excuse me, let's clear this issue up people. I hadn't showered in two days. TWO DAYS. I honed. Like a local after a stick fight.
Anyway, after roaring like a bear, I decided to go to sleep at about 1:30am. It was shortly after that that I was rudely awoken by bright lights. Aaah electricity.
In my excitement, I stripped down to my naked carcass and ran for the bathroom. SHOWER TIME BABY! Um, yeah, not so fast my bru. It takes a few hours for water in the water heater to actually get warm :-) Brrrrrr, well at least a cold shower is good for one thing.
