Its close to impossible to work these days. For me, because we create software, and that is usually done on computers, which usually need power to function.
The power was off everyday last week for about 4hrs each day. This week it might be off again, but now we have a generator. I doubt if it will work flawlessly though – we also thought we had a UPS that would work for 70hr straight, powering all the PC’s in the office. It ended up dying about 1.5 seconds are the power cut, giving us enough time to realize that it had kicked in, but was not worth much.
Today though I’m glad for the power cut. Its cold here, and still the aircon is on!? I suppose I get cold too easily, but I’m wearing warm clothes! Still the aircon is set on 18. As soon as the power goes out, we’ll only have the ‘red plugs’ on the generator, meaning the aircon won’t work – yay!
I’m a selfish person when it gets to things like this, but you have no idea how miserable I become if I’m uncomforatble.
Right now, I just wish I could’ve slept more. You might feel like I’m totally random today, but that’s just the way my brain is functioning. I didn’t have much sleep, and the little that I had was interrupted by the neighbours’ cat sneaking around in my room. I didn’t mind the cat so much, as the though of ‘someone’ being in my room. I heard a bit of a noise at first, but saw nothing. Then another noise, and there I saw something move. I was terrified and probably a bit flustered from the sleep as well. Eventually when I couldn’t find the cat inside the house, I assumed it had gone out through the door which I had opened for it. Then finally I went back to sleep.
5am today my alarm started going off – I have no idea why though. I usually get up at 5.20am (and those precious 20 minutes help alot!)
This morning when I got to work the front door was unable to open – due to the power failures our magnetic lock hadn’t had a chance to charge properly, and the batteries ran out. That meant that I spent an hour waiting outside till someone was able to open the door.
Now, I’m just tired and grumpy. I might come back later when I’m a bit more cheerful.
