It’s going to be a long night
Well, I get to spend the evening through early morning hours at work today/tomorrow. In the dark.
Edison gave notice on Monday that they are taking our power away from 8PM to around 3AM. Thus endangering well over $1million in projects going on, but fortunately we got a hold of some portable generators to patch in to power the critical systems. Someone from my group has to be there to take care of monitoring and verifying that things that should be working are working, and since I’m a fairly nice guy once in a while, I volunteered. Primarily since I have the least going on tomorrow that I need to be fresh for, I’m pretty much just wrapping up documentation for some projects right now.
I feel kind of sorry for Radar, since he’ll have to spend a night alone tonight, but I get the feeling that he’ll just sleep and won’t notice I’m gone until 5:30AM when it’s time to eat. Which I could very well be home for.
I’m going to take some flashlights that are powered by cranks so I can just recharge them and set them up for some light. Probably I’ll spend most of my time reading, and if it looks like there are some long stretches of nothing, sleeping.
Update: Then again, maybe it will go really smoothly on the initial transfer to generator power and I’ll be able to go home and wait to be called back when they are ready to switch back to normal power.
