At last I have my power back

For almost a week now,I have been without power after a fault occurred to the connection line that services my area.Sometimes the power people just seem to take forever when it comes to them making some repairs. Given that they were already informed of the power black-out,I had no option but to wait for them to come calling and do the necessary.But I couldn't help feeling at a loss just when I had set some goals to do something great here in Mylot before the end of this month. But anyway I know there is still some time left for me to achieve.

That is such a long time but in fairness probably the damage is great, something like that usually happens here after a powerful typhoon, terrible situation to be in

@waflay you should consider buying an UPS if you make a lot online and don't like your work to be interrupted

It's the worst thing to happen to anyone especially if you have a lot to do online.

I have fortunately never lost power for so long, the worst I ever has was a power surge caused by a storm which destroyed my computer. It had everything on it. I then sent it to a company to see if they could recover, it was too destroyed. That was a little problem they fixed the cables the next day, I can't imagine 6 days, worrying about the food in the fridge, my stove is electric so no cooking and no hot water.

I think it was 2014 the last time we lost power for 6 days due to the typhoon. It was agony for me because I couldn't do my online job.

If I am in that position, I will feel bad too. For me, I cannot live without power. Since I work online. No one can pull me down due to power outage. I need find some alternatives to solve the problem.

I was feeling really bad and even if I had another option where I was able to charge my laptop,at times it was jamming it's charging capacity up to may be 80% or even lower.

Sometimes these repairs seem to take forever, don't they? Hope you reach your goal whatever it is.

There are the things that you have no control over but just wait the concerned lot to do something about it.

It must be terrible to lose power for so long. Glad that you got it back.
