So, our power was out for 39 hours. Yes, 39 hours.
In case you were wondering, we live in the city. In fact, not just the city, but the middle of the freaking city. And we can't get power for 39 hours? Give me a freaking break.
I suppose I don't have to say that things have been a little odd around here. I love Dave to pieces, but two days of talking to one another in the dark can wear a girl out, and it really changes what a person does on a daily basis.
Dave works from home, so he was unable to do just about anything for two days. We missed Sarah Palin's speech, which I hear was really quite good. We caught a bit of McCain's speech, which I can assure you wasn't so great--it wasn't well written and it certainly wasn't delivered well.
Maybe everything is clouded by my hatred for Entergy, so I'll touch base again in a few days and we'll see if things have improved. Until then, I need a little time to get my bearings about me.

My dad works for Entergy. I'll tell him not to let you sit in the dark that long next time.
Just tell me what information he needs, and I'll get it to him.
In all seriousness, I know that Entergy had their hands full last week. Arkansas wasn't the only place hit, and to their credit the trucks that were in our neighborhood to restore the power were from Oklahoma.
Good for them for pulling in people from across the Mid-South to take care of the problem.
If they could only be a little faster next time...
