Have I Ever Mentioned How Much I Dislike Progress Energy?
Sorry about the lack of posts last night. We had a pretty bad storm come through yesterday afternoon around 4 pm and it left us without power until 4:30 am this morning. When Florida Power was Florida Power they could manage to keep the lights on in a tropical storm. Longest power outage was maybe 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Now that they've become Florida Progress (a division of Progress Energy!) they don't seem to be able to keep the lights on in a normal Florida thunderstorm.
I also expect posting to be somewhat light tonight and tomorrow as I see if I can get myself arrested for spamming people with my resume. The situation at my job has gone from bad to worse to much, much worse and I see myself getting dragged into things that I want absolutely no part of (think guys in black suits, wearing RayBans, with badges and bad attitudes - and the power to make my life make Dante's Purgatory seem like a picnic in the fields).
I've got to get in a better mood here tonight. Otherwise, someone might accuse me of channellng their dark side (oh wait, that already happened. Oh well, at least he was nice about it.)

Nah, they were further south.
Posted by: Chris at July 31, 2003 10:47 PMProbably the same storm we got. I am on Florida Flash and Flicker... which is exactly what our electric did for a couple of hours. At least it didn't go off entirely -- but I find the strobe-light effect annoying.
