So, where I work in the afternoons, I don't finish till 5, which means after it gets dark. I'm the only person in the building with most of the lights turned off, in an okay-but-not-great area of the city every day for about an hour. Also, the building makes weird noises. I've been totally fine with it for months now, until tonight, when I find out at 4 that I have to hang around and wait for some electricians who will be here some time before 8, but no idea when.
(on a sidenote - what kind of business account includes oh, an afternoon appointment is some time between 1 and 8? who works till 8pm on a regular basis?!)
Anyway - I'm freaking out being here alone, even though it's not even 6 and I know I'm perfectly safe. And at some point I have to go, alone with two strangers, to a building with no heat, no light and no power, to watch them plug in four fuses so I can power up the buidling again.
Welcome to my glamorous life!
In brighter news - whoever nominated Never Going Home for the mcshep awards, thank you! (I'm sure it's some kind of comment on fandom that, of the 50 or so stories I wrote last year, the single McKay/Sheppard one is the one that gets nominated for an award. I mean, probably because there aren't any rare slash pairing awards, but still. It made me smile).

And it totally sucks that you waited around until 8:00 for nothing. I hope you're home now, or well on your way. (Of course, if you are, you're probably not reading this...or do you have internet at home now?)

It does, particularly since I just rang them and was told that the electricians tried to see us at 2 but couldn't gain access (despite the fact that the door was open and I was sitting right there). Grr!
