Default Power cut - 05-23-2004, 05:39 PM

I was working last night only to find the whole area have a powercut 15 minutes before closing. What made it worse is that the shop is supposed to have a backup power supply that will give us 10-15 minutes to close the shop - this failed to work - plus the fact that there are no torches (so its pretty dark in office, as there are no windows - we had to use our mobile phones for light - to see what we were doing.

Anyway - i ended up with the job of manually closing the shutters, having to twist a small knob thing (about 5 twists of it brings the shutter down about a centimetre) so i took 10 mins to bring down the shutter half the way - only to find the knob seemed to be moving towards a guard covering the shutters. so we had to practically destroy this guard with a pair of plyers to regain access to the knob. Anyway - we got about a foot from us completely closing the shutter when the power came on. I was sooo pissed off when it came back on, knowing i could have waited 20 mins to close the shutter. oOo:
