Good Morning and Happy Wednesday!
This morning, I woke up and while I was brushing my teeth, the lights went off. I thought that a bulb had just burnt out but then I realized that my whole apartment was out.
I thought it was an isolated issue, and I would just call maintenance. I went to class and saw the whole BUILDING was out. Elevators were down and the stairs had caution tape on them.
After running around due to being locked out of my room (electric locks), I found a kind maintenance man who said the building was on a scheduled power outage and that the stairs were fie, and someone had just forgotten to take down the tape.
...
ANYWAY. The whole event left me with a lot of questions, just as the new HOPE Act sign by Governor Cooper has left the ACLU with questions about it's constitutionality.
