This morning I began a temp gig at the OSU Student Union Bookstore. Spring semester classes start a week from today. Today, though, at around 10:15 or so (maybe a little before), the power went out to the temporary building housing the bookstore as the Student Union is getting renovated. I took the following picture during the outage, before the power came back on roughly an hour and a half later. I turned my flash off, and tweaked the brightness a bit to get things visible.
Fortunately, this power failure happened at a slow time. Most of the faculty and students are gone this week. Despite the outage, we continued to get ready for the Spring Semester rush, which will really hit in a week. We'll get busier each day this week as more students come back into town, and next week we'll really be buzzing, especially during the first half of the week.
I took other pictures today, but this is the one I chose to post to my Flickr account for my yearlong project. I find it interesting how we tend to take power and energy for granted until it's gone.
