Power Outage - Fucking third world cuntry

**Gremlin** · 12th June 2006, 14:54

Power is now on out in Howick area, came back at 1330-ish

Power goes off... fine... can't access uni resources for exam study (and notes are all electronic anyway)... power comes back, but bluetooth accesspoint doesn't... everytime something happens, the bluetooth takes a few extra minutes to auto config itself.

Occasionally there must be spikes or something, as randomly I can't get web pages... meh... roll with the punches I guess

edit: HAH! Auckland Uni put up a message on the student page saying it is officially closed for today. I feel quite sorry for those with exams today tho...

You must be in one of the lucky spots.

The sun is streaming in my window now.

Lucky is a subjective opinion of my plight. Do I feel lucky (well do I?, punk

) sitting here having to work and looking so much forward to sitting in my car for 7.5 trillion light years to drive 6km? Yep, it's my choice and I feel so

What am I going to do without TV tonight? Yeah, ok, that's 2 minutes gone, but eeegads........ [Edit:] If only Sylvia Park was open tonight.....

Maybe Mr Poos decided that the flyswatter needed a bigger kick and his nuts of steel fired the network?

Pointless drivel who gives a fuck

**yungatart** · 12th June 2006, 16:14

Cheers

Happy Birthday you old prick. You don't look a day over 50 either.
What'd you get for a pressie?
Something to last you for the next 3 1/2 weeks?

We gave up at AMPS around 11.00. I went home, put my feet up and settled down to have a nap in front of F1, when they rang to say the power's on and come back to work.
Fucking Transpower, can't even do outages properly.
