Ok - my day started pretty normal. Got up on time, got to work on time despite having to let 6 buses go by on Beretania St. because there were no seats available. Saw a friend on the bus which was nice. About 10am there was a power failure downtown which affected a very large area - some HECO workers were injured. The building where I work lost power totally. We eventually had to clear the building because the temporary lights in the stairwells started failing & because the power was off, no sump pumps so no one could use the bathrooms. We have a school in the building with a couple hundred students -which equals a lot of flushing
Lunchtime comes along & we ordered some poke & rice because the place that sells the fish needed to clear their cooler. It was very good. Then about 2:45, I finally left the building - walking down 5 floors, with 2 arthritic knees and a cane. (the power came back on 30 min. later!!!!!)
Then, I went a block down the street - except for the traffic lights, everyone else had power. While waiting for the bus - I witnessed a pedestrian get struck by a SUV, while in the crosswalk!
Eventually I made it safely home - oh, did I mention we all have NO TV because the sattelite dish is not working? I spent a good part of the evening with my old friend Jose Cuervo.
So - how was YOUR day?
