Today I bring to you one of those stories, that could only happen to me.
So I got off work early the other day so I could go to a doctors appt in the afternoon. I took the whole afternoon off. Bc I am smart and I hate working. Duh.
I get home around 11;30am, and as soon as I warm up my spaghettio's (with sliced franks, THE BEST KIND THERE IS) there's a knock on the door.
It's a man from the power company.
Man says: Hi. I'm from AEP. We're gonna have to cut your power for about an hour, we're working down the road here...
Me: You suck. I'm leaving in an hour, can't you wait?
***I will say here, I do not normally speak to people this way, it just came out! Luckily, he laughed.
Him: Hey, we wanna go home too!
Me: Yeah yeah. Okay, thanks for letting me know.
So I think oh that's fine, I won't have tv but my laptop is charged, I can be online...
I get on facebook, start doing my fb thang....and then....the internet cuts out.
Fuck. You have to have the router plugged in! Duh.
Agh, I am a jackass. But that's okay, I'll just go to the mall for awhile before my appt...I go out to the garage, get in my truck, push the button to open the door.....nothing.
You have to have power for that too. FUCK! Now I am stuck here. And furthermore, they better be done in a reasonable amount of time, I'm sure the 1 hour was a lie bc it always is, I have an appt to get to, AND I AM NEVER LATE EVER EVER NEVER EVER. So I text my co-worker Jen and tell her to call me on her lunch break BC I'M SO FUCKING BORED ICANTSTANDIT!!!
My appt was at 2:10. At 1:50, I am calling the office explaining why I'm going to be late. Bc I'm stuck in my fucking garage.
At 2:00, the power comes back on. 2 1/2 hrs later. Really? 1 hour, huh? I was expecting like an extra 30-45 min, not more than double.
On the upside, I'm glad out neighbors got a new power pole, seeing as we called and asked for one 6 months ago bc ours is literally shredding in our yard, and they decide to give the neighbors one. NICE.
