09-27-2013

got awoken at 4am by the house alarm beeping because we lost power.
i started to go back to sleep until i realized that i should check on socaledison when the power is coming back up (or no alarm is going to wake me up...) plus it's usually still dark when i get up.   -_-
i have this app on my phone (from the last time we lost power) and there were no reported outages in cerritos...so i reported it as starting at just before 4am...
then later, because i requested to get text messages on the update of the trouble ticket i created, i get the message below.
i start to freak out because it says most will be up by 8:30, which is after the school day begins!  
when derek left to go to the gym before 5am, i had him call me to tell me what it looked like out by school and the sheriff's station.  school was dark, no street lights working, sheriff's station seemed to be on emergency power generators, and there was a crew working at the intersection by school. 
i ended up texting our principal to let her know.  
luckily by the time i was ready to go to work power at school was restored, and i doubt too many students and teachers who don't live here even realized it.  
what was weird was that i didn't get the "resolved" trouble ticket until AFTER the school day was over and i was walking home...
