power outages

when the power goes out at a 24/7 health care facility, there might be cause for concern... unless there are well-oiled plans and equipment in place and with and without my direction, the power outage at work did little more than get me up earlier than planned... the emergency generator and notification system worked as it should... i get a text message each time the generator goes on and notifies me when it does... it also notifies me when power is lost, when power comes back on, and when it turns off... so i have the reassurance that there is no break in power and the exact times and utility services events for a report... and that lets me call moments after the power goes off to get a status report from the staff on duty which is reassuring to everyone involved (they were surprised and happy to hear from me and felt they good to know we were in contact with the power company and are working on getting power restored so they didn't feel isolated or alone)... the power company took my number and gave me estimates and kept me updated... everyone who might have been concerned was notified all is well... life is good... and now that power is back on and all is well, i wonder what i'm gonna do today... i think i may even have plans...

good morning, narf :)
