Every year when I install the window A/C units for the summer I muse about accidentally dropping one out.
This year, it happened.

Two dead bats.
This is the kind of f##kwitt mentality i am trying to deal with.
1.5 litres of soup stored in 2 x 5 litre buckets.
None of the staff here would last long in my kitchen !

That's a real shame! Take it from me, the live ones are much more fun!

I hope they washed them out. They seemed used for other things.
no they were both full of tomato soup, but as it has been used up they didnt decant it into a smaller container just put lids on them and put them in the fridge like that.
Lazy bastards !

They are. I do very much understand the anger. No love for the trade that gives them wages.

Just getting to sleep last night and the neighbors that had been gone all day Sunday until 10:00 p.m decide to jump in this little 14' pool and scream at the top of their lungs for a good half an hour. Ok, now I'm awake and P.O.ed.... Just getting back to falling asleep again at about 1:00am ahd hear a helicopter come floating in, hovers over the area for a good 45 minutes, back and forth.... then flies off again!!!! No sleep last night.

Monday I worked 2nd shift. Tuesday 3rd shift. Wednesday and today 2nd shift and this afternoon when I got to work I get "Guess what, tomorrow your on 3rd shift".
I feel like a yoyo. To quote Danny Glover "I'm too old for this s--t!"

In the United States all households are urged to have at least one battery powered radio receiver. I am pretty sure that is to avoid your situation.

I've got the "Radio Player" app which is awesome and will have the phone charging until lights out. The Sony blue-tooth speakers have been charged

Our power company, Florida Flash and Ficker, cuts power too, but they generally don't tell us about it in advance. I guess they figure it's not that much of a surprise, anyway.
Back in 1994 a hurricane was crossing the state, with heavy rain and strong winds, and around 1900 I heard a "Pow!" and the power went out. A transformer had blown. I drove up to the Walmart 1.5 miles away and had dinner at the McDonald's there. When I got back the lights were on and the power company truck was just leaving.. Good job!
A few years ago the same thing occurred at about 1900 across the street on a nice calm evening, knocking out the neighbor's power - and they did not get it back on until 0100. I guess they work a lot faster in storms.

Our power company, a rural electric cooperative, never cuts power deliberately, but we get frequent lengthy outages just the same. Because they're a coop rather than a for-profit corporation they're banished from running their lines roadside and have to go crosslots through the woods, making repairs difficult and expensive.
On top of that, they're restricted to serving low density areas the corporations don't consider profitable. When a portion of their territory reaches a "profitable" population density, the PSB promptly awards it to the local subsidiary of a corporate power conglomerate based in Canada and owned in Europe. Expensive, and I've got no choice but worth it to me to have local control.

In the early 1970s, a Caterpiller dealer was a customer of mine. They powered their entire operation with their own generators, one to run the other backup. These units were about the size of a small rail freight car, powering service shop, show room and offices. I began to have exposure problems with my microfilm equipment which showed up in varying densities on the film. After a couple of repeat calls, I asked if there was any thing different with the electric supply. I was told that Louisiana Power and Light had forced them into the LP&L power grid. He told me so far three a/c compressors had burned out and a fourth damaged plus brown outs. He asked my manager to send him a report as to my time so that could be added to the lawsuit.
