This is the second power outage at work yesterday. Glad we’re on battery backup in our department. This reminded me of elementary school somehow. You know how everyone would get giddy when power would shut off? Maybe like the emergency light, there was a glimmer of hope that the school day would just end and we would be sent home. Although I’m not certain we played in the dark, this reminded me specifically of heads up 7-up. I would always try and cheat by placing my head in the corner of my elbow so I could peek downward at a classmates shoes to help me identify them as I was never a great guesser. Plus, it’s boring just sitting down with your face buried into your desk.
