So our new office in Burlington is proving to have even more annyoying 'features'. The feature of the day was more like a lack of a feature, namely ELECTRICITY! One would imagine that keeping electricity running to an office room would make sense, but no, not at NCSU. I think the construction workers must have needed to turn off a circuit do do some work, but it would have been nice if we'd known about it ahead of time.
We came in this morning and found no electricity. Apparently the power had been off since 5:14am. Finally, around 11:00 it came back on, and we're happy. We set the clocks, and do start to do some work. Then, an hour later, it goes off again with no warning. This is very frustrating, since I was working on a desktop computer with no UPS.
Luckily, I had my new laptop with me, so I did some work for two hours until my battery was drained. Maybe they'll have it fixed by Monday...
