Those Swing Shift, Post-Work Power Outage Blues

I knew I wasn't going to enjoy this swing shift in the middle of winter crap! And it's only been one day! Cold and dark. Trucks showing up late. The crew tough to communicate with. Too much walking on concrete checking on everyone. Startled by some little blackbird flying out from beneath my car, inches from my face, as I approached. Nothing much open after work if a person wants to get something to eat.

And it would appear pretty lame and low-life of me if I decided to avoid it all by taking vacation right now.

To top it off, I came home to the chilly blackness of a power outage. Try finding your front door locks when there's no illumination. Then try getting your key into each. I don't know why my electric company always seems to have an outage somewhere when you never hear a peep about outages with the competing local company. We should have a choice for our service. But they each have their own little areas of monopoly carved out for them.
