So I have to work late today. That is usually pretty great because it means I get to go into work late, and alone time is not something inanis comes by often. One my ONE day every 3 months that I get to sleep in, I get paged from work at 6am. I don't answer, cause I'm working late...not early. Only then they call my house. Then my cell again...so I answer. Some system is down, to make it just even better, it is a development server; not even production. Yeah, okay, whatever I'll fix it. So I go to fix it...and no internet. WTF! I go in my basement, and no power. FiOS gateway is on battery backup and my modem and router have no power at all, UPS battery ran out.
Okay, okay this is obnoxious. So I check the breakers, no trips. Then it occurs to me that it has been down pouring all night here. Like buckets and buckets of rain. We had some electrical work done outside while it was very dry. This must be the root of my problem. I check one the switch this is connected to, and see that the GFI reset button needs to be it. Viola! Power. Only now I need to go outside to figure out WHY it tripped the outlet. I trace it back and find a wire that isn't fully capped. I do my thing and cover it up for now. Then I turn around to head back into the house and I fall into a friggin sink hole. No joke, I sunk into the ground up to about my mid-thigh. Now my BRAND NEW black boots look like this:
I'm so mad, for so many reasons.
