Call National Grid - My Power is Out

Actually, almost all the electric on Camp Anaconda has been out for about 24 hours. We have electric in two places-- at the office and at the Gym. We do not have power in our "hooches" though. Even the pumps that control the showers are down, so we all smell a bit. Last night it was about 38 degrees so we all froze. 38 Degrees is a far cry from that 133 degree day in Kuwait let me tell you. They tell us to expect the power on by early tommorow morning. Ah well. It could be worse. Every now and then we do go through these outtages and this is just one of those times. If it happens in the summer heat...well that would be alot worse. I have a bit of a cold. Seems like everyone around me is sick. Its never nice to be sick, but its worse when you are already working 14 hours a day and have the day to day stress we are going through. And of course it is compounded by the additional stress we feel by being away from our families and friends during the holidays. Even over here...we worry about our shopping lists. The attacks continue and recently there were a few casualties. No one I know. Thank God. The days are counting down for us all. I have 65 days and a wake up until I come home on leave. That will be around February 14th. With any luck....I will share a romantic dinner with my S.O. Well, at any rate, I hope the power comes on soon. It is suppose to be even colder tonight and I am smelling like a fat man who spent a week in a sauna. Take care my peeps.
