Today I got to the office around 0730 and ate my breakfast while watching a few gun tapes from engagements last night. I then went to my morning meeting. Upon returning from the meeting, I came back to a completely dark office. The power had went out. Me and my NCO sat around a little while, and the decided to walk to the boardwalk so he could get a coffee and I could get an Iced tea. We figured that would kill some time and when we got back the power would be back on.
It wasn't. Sat around for a little while longer, and then found out that it was going to be out until around 1800 hours. Well there was no point in having all 3 us sit around in the dark doing nothing, so I sent the paralegals home. Then I sat in the dark. ALL DAY!
1800 hours came and went and I was still sitting in the dark. By 1830 hours, my boss had decided he wasn't going to sit in the dark any more (mind you he had only been there since about 1730 hours). So, I told him if he was leaving, I was definitely leaving.
On the bright side, I was able to finally finish the 4th Harry Potter book that work kept getting in the way of. The downside is that my eyes are killing me now from looking at the kindle for 8 hours in a completely dark room with nothing but a little flash light. I'm sure at some point my eyes will get used to all this light I'm experiencing now that I am out of my office/dungeon....
