Power Outage

Today when I got home from yoga and went to turn on CNN I realized that my power was out. I have no idea when this happened, but judging from the lack of cold in the fridge, probably sometime during the night. That sucks so bad. I have a lot of cheese and butter and milk in my fridge.

I'm wondering if it has to do with my water heater leaking water over all sorts of open and covered wires in my laundry room... I called Heather and she called the landlady to come take a look, and after checking the fuse box, the water heater was the first place she went. That could be because Heather told her about the water problem, too, though.

The extremely shitty thing about losing power in Korea is that I also lose hot water when that happens, since the electric thermostat controls the tap water and the water that heats the floor. So I had to wash at the sink today with cold water.

I also had to relinquish my keys to the landlady, since she doesn't have any for some reason. That meant not locking my door as I left for work. Sketchy. I took my laptop with me to work, as well as all my spare cash that I leave about. I didn't want to haul my camera, video camera, and ipod to work, though, so I hope they'll be safe in their cabinet.

Considering the lax attitude people seem to have around here for fixing stuff, I fear that I will not have power still when I get home. I have one tealight and one tiny flashlight, so I guess in that instance, I would go to Heather's house for the night.
