Using the old noggin

Walking back from the laundry room, I had a sudden moment of clarity. If the power is back on in the building, the answering machine should also come back on.

So I get back inside, and call the lab. Sure enough, answering machine picks up.

So sometime after 9:30PM and 7:30AM the power was restored. I'm looking forward to reading the email that'll explain the incident. But then again, nobody bothered to send an email after a dumbass smoker set a dumpster on fire to say "no smoking around the building - go to the smoking tent".

So that's one less thing to do this morning. Yup, I'm not going to bother because what damage is done is done, and there's not much I can do about it now since everything should be at the proper temperature.

Cake is in oven, laundry is started. I might get a nap in this morning after all. Score.
