No sleep for about 36 hours. sat. around 3ish, we went to Get and Zip, where we found life and food. We went to Deltaville and spent the night with ac and pool. NICE! Only to get up Sunday to find out I was supposed to be at work even though we did't have power at work. Keep in mind, I've never missed a day from work in 5 years. I always cover other peoples shifts and am one of the best workers they have. When I called Sun. they were like where have you been? You know you were supposed to be here. I had called repeatedly, got no answer at various times on Sat. My boss said you must talk to big boss, You know everyone has a boss higher than them. I said "no problem" put him on the phone. I told him my dilemma and he was very understanding. Had to rush home from Deltaville and go to work,still no lights or ac at home. My family was all to pieces. So finally, I got to work. I stormed in and immediately asked my boss Why did you make me talk to big boss? Are you mad at me? She cowered back and said no, He wanted to talk to everyone that called. I told her how I felt and I didn't care if I got fired. I was justified and did not deserve to be treated that way. So this week , what do I hear? She is getting in trouble for missing time. Karma? What do you think. Moral of story, When you are mean to nice people, bad things happen to you.

That was some kind of storm, with 80 mph winds! After trying to tough out the heat for a while, we were lucky enough to spend the time with family who had both power and a/c. Sheesh, it was so hot, we sat on the front porch all night the first night. <br /> We now are fortunate enough to have power, internet/cable and an empty fridge.<br />So nice that you were able to visit with Jamie and so amazing that Waterman withstood even more heat during the ballgame!<br />The temp has now dipped down into the mid 90's...<br />Take care in the heat this week!deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462551016440715970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-52250115037297917962012-07-02T11:40:08.869-04:002012-07-02T11:40:08.869-04:00Thanks for a wonderful weekend and it was a pleasu...Thanks for a wonderful weekend and it was a pleasure meeting Jaime and her daughter.

Mine went out about 11:30p Friday night. Then the storm that came through around 4 on Sat morning woke me up and I still didn't have power. I thought "Oh boy, here we go again." Finally got up about 5 and wandered around in a fog. No coffee, no shower. It finally came back on around 11 so that wasn't too bad. At least I had the pool water to "freshen up" with. <br /><br />Poor Waterman JP looks like he is about to melt.Dghawknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-9478832122213594172012-07-02T08:01:37.179-04:002012-07-02T08:01:37.179-04:00I got all sweaty just reading this.

Also swimming in the pool as that was the only "shower" I had all weekend. I heard We got power back around 7ish last night.

Since then, I've been to Baltimore and NJ, and luckily had power all the way. Power and cool air-conditioned homes.
