Didn't intend for it to get that out of hand.

Every time I'd get an hour into a training module on the computer at the store, the power would go out and I'd have to restart. Training modules are by definition boring as Hello, and I had to keep doing them over and over like a bad groundhog day. The store of course lost all its refrigerated stuff, the staff is testy and my hiring manager is on the razor edge. Heh. There are other jobs. Right? I finally just clocked off tonight and told her afterwards. I still work there.
I'll try to catch up in the thread. Or not. I'm not that energetic. Atta boys and hugs for whoever might use one.

Caught up! I have no idea what I read, though.
Something about a late thread start. Crossbows and split posts, lime/lemonade, mouse, lenticular clouds, all kinds of food talk, um.
I didn't have power for 24 hours. I'm still debating what to do with my frozen/thawed/refrozen chicken, breakfast sausage, bacon and milk. I'll probably use them anyway. I thought I would lose my ish last night in the dark cold by myself. I lay in bed for 13 hours because it was warm there. Sometimes I wish I was married for when the power goes out a half dozen times a year. It's freaky. Especially when I couldn't buy gas anywhere so I was stuck here - along with tens of thousands of other people, but why are we all so isolated? There are four other single older women in my complex and we all stay to ourselves. I think I need to start calling.
I did break out my Coleman campstove for hot water this morning. That was kinda fun.
G'nite. I could use a reset.

Morning everyone,
Close to 900 posts again this week
Biminiblue that sounds tough right at the start of a new job. 24 hours is not usually enough for everything in the freezer to defrost as long as it comes back on then. Are you in the middle of bad weather?
Hope your dad gets what treatment he needs Ruby
Hugs to Bimini and Ruby this morning

Bimini, your frozen/refrozen stuff will be fine. Bacon is loaded with preservatives. You KNOW when milk is bad.
Yay on having a coleman stove to break out in emergency. I've got two of those, and an alcohol stove so I can cook multi course meals in extremis.
