Some background on the situation is summed up nicely in these two spoiler'd quotes.
Welp, apparently the power's going off in 20 minutes, and I was told that about 5 minutes ago. Good thing I always charge everything even when in use.
I don't live on my own, nor do I own/rent the house I live in, so I couldn't have some anything to help anyway. That's both good and bad, but I'll take it as a good thing because I don't have to feel guilty about not doing all I could have.
But still, no power. At least it's still bright out.
Internet huggles for you. And for anyone who wants them.
I'll take one-- while I still have the facilities to access them.

The electricity didn't go off yesterday and has been on for the whole day today. This also makes me nervous because I don't know when or if it'll happen, but for now, yay.
I'm not sure if this should go in the sad thread or rage thread, but I feel more unhappy about this than pissed off. That's probably because I'm currently on the internet.
A few days ago, they gave us a warning that they were going to turn off the power. It was even a good amount of time to prepare, at least for me. I did so. They then proceeded to do nothing.
"Okay, great," I thought, "now I don't know what to think. Fantastic." So they came today and one of my sisters answered the door. She yelled up the stairs that they're "about to turn the power off." No amount of time, just "about to". I tell the person I;m talking to via laptop that she just said it's about to go off and that I gotta prepare for it (again). Changing my power settings, logging off, charging it as much as I can before it happens, things like that. Not even a minute later, the fan in the room stops. I didn't even have enough time to get off the bed.
"Hey, your power's going off-- here's a warning and when we're gonna do it!"
"That's nice of them to tell us."
Nothing happens.
We're left in the dark (no pun intended) about when to expect it.
"Hey, we're about to turn the power off now!"
"Oh, 'kay, I should prepare while I still--"
"

Welp.
I'm currently at the library using their free wifi. That's all I've got for now. At least I'll be able to focus on my work when school starts, hopefully.
