Hey,

Just frustrated and thought I would throw this out there.
The power went out in my apartment 30 hours ago and I have had 5 electricians over here, or so I thought and now I am left with an extension cord coming through my outside wall to ONE light bulb.
All my food is out on the balcony (lucky for me its 10 degrees outside)
I called for help before sun up and no one arrived until 3 pm.
The freakin electrical panel looks like a bomb went off in it and all the wires are the same damn color.
On top of that its all aluminum wire and he shocked himself at least 3 times.

:kib: :kib:

There I feel better now............ :2cents :wtf

:doh Should I say welcome to the real world.

Are we americans spoiled are not? Where I lived in Tirana the power went out every! early evening, at the same time.

So if I got home at that time of day, it was set across the stret at a sidewalk cafe, watch the girls and wait til the power came back on? That are try to find my way up several flights of stairs in total darkness.

Take Care - Enjoy the international life.

wow, that is the longest stutter I ever heard of. In Yerevan they turned the water off for certain hours every day.

jester / drifter, you guys play nice now.

A person can not drag up for a short term job like where your at.

Take care
