Well the city I am in is currently having major blackouts. Thank God for the wind up alarm clock my Grandma gave me or I would be late for work. There has been no looting so things are still pretty normal it just looks weird driving past pitch black streets, and LRT stations.

Wow, I hope they get things fixed soon! At least in the daylight it won't be too bad, but I sure pity people who have to work in windowless offices!

Eef, how are you managing to work? Does your office have a backup generator, then?

No, it is sections or blocks that are off or on. The backup generator only covers emergency lights and keeps servers running, not desktops so I still would not be able to work. The city center has been fine thus far.
