On the topic of power cuts

Power went out in the building today. We were soon swamped with crowds of people asking about their Internet access and continually reassuring them that we'd fix it. There was this one guy though who stood out, he's got a reputation for flipping his shit at the slightest thing and so we generally have a policy of 'don't talk to him, don't look at him'. The Dick (charming nickname, I know) strolled into the office demanding that we 'restore all internet power to his computer or he'd have us all fired'.
It took every fibre of my being to not burst out laughing. Bill (the otaku) squeaked out a couple before regaining himself. It wasn't really the phrasing, just the way he said it in this typical Gekko type businessman drawl he has and this smug smile he seems to have affixed to his face at all times. We promised him we would as soon as possible. He seemed to accept that well and stroll out of our office giving high fives to everyone. He's rumored to have a nasty coke habit, so this really doesn't surprise me. Power came back on eventually, a squirrel apparently took a leap of faith into a transformer. Everyone shuffled out after that and pretty quickly it was just us two shooting the shit in some dingy basement. There are worst jobs out there, I guess.

Peace,
Mark.
