So I'm just trying to work.
I dropped my wife and daughter off at work and school respectively.
Went home to unplug everything from the walls in case the power surges when it comes back on.
Went to a local cafe to use wifi, but it requries a purchase. I order a coffee and bagel. Their card machine is down - so I say I'll be back with cash.
I go to Safeway which is running on a generator-I purchase water and a charging cable for my phone which I forgot in my other car. I go to pay and Safeway's debit machine isn't working.
I then drive to a working Chase so I can use the ATM machine to get cash.
I drive back to the cafe, order my food and coffee. I then try to login to their wifi and it's not working. "Oh it's down today", they say.
So now I've gone to Dublin and I'm using a place with wifi to work but the connection is slow. I'm stressed out and frustrated. I have to do pickup for the girls later too and there's no cell service at my house.
I am now thinking about getting a generator from Amazon:
