Freaky Friday

Friday morning dawned clear and cool.

Not a cloud in the sky.

But just after the Friday meeting started…my weekly VERY IMPORTANT Client meeting…the power went out.

I work on a laptop with a full battery so my computer was fine. But my primary internet connection is via the phone company with a modem and router that require electricity. And this morning, I was running the meeting as the rest of the team had other obligations.

Poof – dead air.

But, I have a Verizon Air card and I have 3G service at the house…so it was a momentary blip, but still…

Nearly 4 years in this house through blizzards and thunderstorms and wind storms and nothing more than blinking lights on the odd occasion.

A little freaky.

The power was out an hour – very quiet. It came on shortly after the meeting ended but before I called the electric co-op and it was lunchtime.

I decided to take a relaxed lunch break outside.

So did Karl.

Guess he felt a bit freaky as well.

Freaky Friday.
