Last night I got home to discover the parental house's powerpoints weren't working. The lights were fine, but the powerpoints weren't playing ball. I checked the fusebox and...discovered a lot of switches. Flippy things. Without instructions. And definitely not intuitive. Call me an electrical dinosaur, but I like the old ceramic fuses with their wires. So much simpler to deal with!
Anyway, I tried to flip the 'Power' switch back on...and it promptly flipped off again. Couldn't work out how to reset it, so I left it.
Result? All plug-in-electricals have been off in the house for the last fifteen hours, including the fridge/freezer, the TV, and the modem.
I just hope they don't find themselves having to eat all the meat in the freezer in the next 2 days!
I've discovered that I don't sleep well at the parental house when the parentals aren't home. Too busy fretting about the cats I'm minding and what they might do while I'm sleeping...like pee in my clothing. Thank heavens it's only for a few days and the parentals are back this morning.
Still, the result is that I'm pretty much exhausted after the weekend and am looking forward to going back and sleeping in my own bed with my kitty.
This is the point at which I could probably use a Nikola Tesla icon, right?
