Well, this is our last day of Quarantine and it was made even more difficult by a power outage. For some reason, maintenance turned off power in our pod this morning and left it off until 1 PM. This meant no TV - the real pacifier in the baby inmate's mouth - or radio, hot pots, or lights. That knocked out 90% of these guys' entertainment.
A cheer went up when the power came back, but then some groaning. Half of the cells in the dorm still weren't getting power. Maintenance came back and it wasn't until 4PM that power was fully restored. Or so I thought.
When I went to my cell to listen to the radio, I noticed that a red 12:00 wasn't blinking back at me. My cell still didn't have power. I asked the guard in the picket to call maintenance back, but they were gone for the day. Great! The guard said they would fix it in the morning. I guess I've got an excuse when I show up to work late - no alarm.
