When Power gets the Fail

Hello everyone!

Apparently our national power company got a dose of failsauce the other day. The plant that supplies power to our province got some technical problems causing us to loose electricity. I heard it was due to their 100KV transformer exploding. I don’t know how big the explosion was, though it’s probably just small – it must be some electrical engineering thing. Though, yes, transformers do explode with some sort of boom when they have problems…

It happened just the other night. They did some tweaking with the power and now we have partial electricity – low voltage with some fluctuations, though at least we have some light tonight. I don’t know if it’ll be cut off tomorrow because they are prioritizing city centers, and not the residential areas during peak hours. Hopefully, power will be fully restored by Tuesday.

Anyway, the entire day turned out a bit unproductive. Well, only a bit, since I was not able to finish my scheduled task since I need a computer. I was able to print out some reports though, by using the UPS, though ended up using it all up as soon as I finished printing the pages.

At least our manager noticed that we really need to get our standby generator fixed (we had one, which I did not knew previously, although broken). Hurray.

Oh, there are kittens running around on our roof! It’s too noisy. They’re cute though, but a bit shy to us over here… Hopefully they’ll get used to humans soon. And no, they’re not ours.

Hmm… I seem to be surrounded by failing things recently… We need more WinSauce! Anybody got one?

Alright, see you around! ^-^
