Jesus Christ that must suck. Sorry you're having such a shit time dude.

That's tough. Although at this point I'd be hoping it stays off until after midnight so you can get your $1920.

Fingers crossed for you that it won't be too much longer.

Thanks RustyRaven. A friend has lent me a generator so I can get some work done during the day. And grab a hot shower. The things we take for granted…until they are taken away.
