Black out

We have a power cut at work. The power went - then it returned. Well sort of. Currently the generator at the side of the building is filling the air with rancid smoke and keeping the lights on. The phones are down - the computers are down. The team is wondering what to do. They are now reading books.
Ah you see - now the power appears to have returned. Such a pity. I was mid-appraisal writing and it went. Now its back I have to assume my writers head and return to words on paper creation!
My laptop keeps running on its battery so I keep working - despite the interuptions of excited colleagues. Smoke. No screens. Does the coffee machine still work.

It all bodes well for an energy crisis.

Not.
