Monday at work proved different.
Just as I was going on break at noon, the power decided to go to Crazy City. Half the store went out, and we lost all air conditioning, computers and phones. The registers still worked, but were now operating at off-line status.
Jeff called Edison, and ended up in bureaucratic hell with them. But eventually, they "claimed" that there was a planned "rolling black-out" -though the temps today and this week are suppose to be near normal -but a transformer blew.
So, when we found this out at 2:30, Jeff decided to close the store. After all, it was possible that the power would be out the rest of the day, and the registers back-up battery power was beginning to fail.
After we cleared out the store, some people decided to leave, and I thought I could do some work until 4, and finish out the day. Then at 3, the power failed all together.
I love people who came up the door, finding it locked and looking at the sign we posted as if its printed in another language. Then they try the door again. Or move to the other doors, as if they would be open.
Anyways, just as I was about to leave, the power came back on.
