Power, interviews, candles and cellphones
This morning lightning struck a power pole about 2 blocks up from my house. It was a loud bang and the house shook. I go outside and the pole is on fire.Cool.
Then the power goes out.
Not cool.
So I head out about 3:00 for an interview in Elmsford.
After being there for almost 3 hours, (which isn't bad, I hope they like me enough to employ me), I head home.
I pulled up to my house and the power was still out, so I decided to go get dinner. While I was out eating the guy who I'm renting a new apartment from starting next month called and said he was available to sign the lease and take the deposit. So I go take care of that and finally head home again. I'm driving down the road and all the houses are still pitch black. I keep driving past my place and onto CVS to buy some candles.
Home again and up the stairs I go by the light of the LCD on my cell phone. I pulled the candles out of the bag, light the wick of the first one and no sooner did I set it on the table, the power comes back on.
Figures, right?
