Do we get to go home? Nope. Instead, they're letting the generator run until 5pm (5 hours) so that everyone can continue working. Except there's no A/C, half the lights are off, and only 1 elevator (out of 3) is working.

Employee's well-being? What's that?

Your fault for going in..
after a Hurricane I woulda been.. sorry repairing home damage etc.. will be there maybe tomorrow =P

Ok, I want to continue ranting. In addition to having a crappy day at work everybody finds it necessery to comment on Yankees losing this weekend and ask how I'm handing that. Yeah, people, my baseball team lost and I'm going to slash my wrists. For some reason my co-workers think they can only talk about sports with me

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as you :(
It's work, you're not supposed to like it.

My fault? How is it my fault? Is it my fault FP&L is turning off the power? Is it my fault a hurricane hit?
If it's anyone's fault it's the Building maintenance guy's fault. He was told yesterday that this was going to happen and didn't tell anyone. If FP&L hadn't given a courtesy call at 9:30am to see the status of the building then no one would've even know until the power went off at noon.

Oh, and there was no damage to my house (or to this building). I went in because I needed to. There's 5 of us in the IT support group for this building, I work M/W/F and the other guy in the lab works T/R/F (I have class on T/R, he has class on M/W). So everyday except Friday there's only 4 of us available, more like 3 because my boss does is usually busy with meetings and paperwork. Oh, and there's 350+ machines in the building, not including the servers.

I like my job. I just hate Mondays.
