Lights Out!

[jeweledvixen]

I was sitting in the living room minding my own business watching Toddlers and Tiaras Animal Planet when the lights went out. My apartment complex has a ton of outside lights and they were all on. I managed to stumble my way into the bedroom and get my flashlight and cell phone. Then I came into the office to call the electric company to report the outage when I saw that my computer was still on. Strange. I checked the breaker box and everything was normal there I called the landlady next and she sent some old guy over who checked the breaker box, then went down in the basement to check things out.

A little while later, the landlady's son showed up and they both were banging around in the basement. It took them almost an hour to figure out it was a loose wire and to fix it. Good thing I had back oxygen tanks to use. Now I'm a happy camper.

Now, why is Toddlers and Tiaras crossed out, pray tell? :D:D:D

Glad it got fixed so quickly - hope they check all the rest of the wiring so that doesn't happen again!

glad they got it fixed quickly and it was only a minor issue - nothing is worse than being without electricity for extended periods of time.
