Boring day

Came into work this morning to find only about half the lights would turn on, none of the three phase stuff would come on, and basically I couldn't do anything. Turns out there had been a ground fault on one of the branch lines, and it actually melted the main coming onto the property.
The power company was nice enough to shut everything off completely after a couple hours, so I got nothing done. Of course, the manager had the ***** to ask me why everyone else went home. I told him a circle jerk was only fun for a little while-
On the plus side, now I can look for a better job this afternoon instead of waiting till Friday. I wonder what kind of fun and excitement will happen tomorrow?
