repair

     Power was restored in our neighbourhood at about 4:28 am. There was a power outage at around 1:52 am. Because i had a deadline, I made a call to the power company, first time i’d done so, because  i was working, needed to finish something for  Monday. And thought there might be no one monitoring  the  power grid at this time and no one might be sent to repair the power lines. The call was answered after three rings. I was interviewed! They got my name, number, service i.d. number. Then i told them that i was working and needed to finish something that’s why i called. Then they asked, “on what street is the power outage?” So i gave the name of the main street. Then they asked “ Is it a big area (the power outage)?” and i said that it was the entire block. Then i double-checked, and said it was the entire neighbourhood.  Then they asked, “Did you hear an explosion?” and i said, yes i heard an explosion, it was far-away.

      Anyway, it was repaired and was done in two and a half hours.
