Dear Electric Company, Bite Me

[susandennis]

The mail brought notice of Yet Another Fucking Planned Electrical Outage. These people are really working my last nerve. At least this one is at night - a Sunday night - staring at 8. Could be way worse but still. Why oh why do you all of a sudden have to keep turning my power off??? GRRRRRRRR

I did all the laundry this morning. Two loads washed, dried, folded and put away. Nice.

And Costco. where I remembered to get gas and walked out of the store with ONLY the one thing I went in for. Honestly, I thought there should be some kind of awards ceremony as I left the store. But, nothing. Maybe it's because I stopped and had a hot dog on the way out and the people handing out the awards got tired and went back in to shop. That's what I'm thinking.

Also I stopped and got Diet Dr. Pepper on the way home at Cash and Carry which also has outstanding frozen chicken thighs but are usually out of them. Not today!! They are just like I like them (skin on) and huge. I think their chickens are the biggest on the planet. If I buy those little punk thighs at the grocery store, I bring them home and wrap them up and freeze them. These are flash frozen and so way better actually. I've got one thawing for dinner right now.

Plus I made a new creature. This guy looks worried but I'm not sure what about.



And this one looks like The Happy Soccer Tooth.

I have to catch up on your entries, but...that's weird about the outages. Won't food rot or are they not that long? What about emergencies and stuff, I mean people could need electricity for lots of reasons other than playing on the 'net.

Hm. Reminds me of North Korea...not a good thing.

Or maybe it's an attempt to push people into getting generators and going "solar" and stuff like that?? We think people are doing something like that in San Francisco regarding cars -- that the city is going out of its way to try to make it harder on drivers and thus force them out of their cars...instead it's only causing a lot of angst.

Life ain't easy as a Paisley Pup! You should make a doll that looks interesting right side up and upside down, that'd be interesting!

Oh no. It's only for 8 hours. It would take a lot longer than that for food to spoil. Especially if you don't open the fridge which I probably won't cause mostly I'll be sleeping.

I'm sure they make arrangements for people who need electricity. Last time the power was cut at 4 pm and I know several people in the building got a hotel room for the night.
