We apparently had some power outages and problems last night in the downtown area and today the power company is still working out the kinks. Our building, and other downtown buildings, is running on generators so only essential lighting and non-power-slurpers are up. That means the overhead lights are off. So, I've been sitting here since 8:00 am - it's 11:30 now - in the dark and still trying to do my job. My only light is from the computer screen and a small task light which is inconveniently located not over my desk but over my printer. So, my desk itself is dark and I am limited in what I can easily do this morning. AND, I've developed a monster headache from the eyestrain. I just heard someone else complain that she's gotten a headache so I guess I'm not alone.
Oh, and the chillers are off, so the building is gradually getting warmer. Not that we need AC right now, but the chillers keep the floors from getting hot from people-and-computer-generated heat.
Aach.
