A fire truck came to make sure we didn't electrocute ourselves while waiting on MLGW. By 9:30, two MLGW trucks were there. They worked ALL NIGHT, which sucked for us because the blinking truck lights and backing-up noises and talking kept us from getting much sleep, but sucked worse for the workers because it was about 25 degrees and they were getting even less sleep than we were.
At 6:30 this morning, Connor came in our room and pointed at the blinking lights that were reflecting on our wall. "I've got that in my room too!" Fortunately that was the first time the commotion, which was located directly outside his window, had woken him. We looked outside together and explained to him that the trucks had been there all night trying to help us get power. He was upset that those guys had missed their bedtime. I was too, and I wished I had power so that I could make them (and me) a cup of coffee. Fortunately Mom lives right around the corner, so we were able to go over there to get ready for work and school and to have that coffee. Just us, though- we left the workers in front of our house. It wasn't until after 8:00 this morning that they got the power back on, but at least it's on.

i am very thankful for electricity and my desk job. i appreciate the shout out!
We lost electricity too. It was eerie how quiet it was. Of course, we didn't have workers in front of our house.
I know just what you mean. Last night on the way home there was a traffic light out, so it took, like, an extra five minutes to get home. It was so inconvenient.
And then I paid an enormous utility bill, so MLGW can still suck it.
Dang you, you should have come to our house for warmth! We came to your's when we were roasting hot without power in the summer! Although that wouldn't have made for nearly as good a story.
