you know what day tomorrow is?

It's my day off, seeing as how i spent an hour yesterday shutting down and unplugging all office equipment due to a planned building-wide power outage, and five hours today bringing it all back up.  Four power supplies decided they liked the rest too much to get back up again, so i had to go vulture some from the ranks of the undead computers in the back office.  One CAT-5 cable decided to spontaneously die, too, and the rigor mortis didn't let me extract it from its jack without specialized tools (a knife).  For bonus points, the outage was scheduled from 16:00 Saturday to 04:00 today, and they kindly called me just after 04:00 to let me know it all went well, and i spent the remaining hours of sleep dreaming of wholesale failure at work during today's activities.  To top it off, i woke up with a stiff neck, which made lugging around dead computers extra fun.

At least yesterday wasn't too bad; it was only an hour, Kim kept me company during that time, and after that we went for Peruvian food at Machu Picchu Restaurant.  I had anticuchos (skewered chunks of marinated beef heart), sopa a la minuta (soup with ground beef, noodles, potato, and a few spinach leaves), and fried plantains.  Kim had a steak dish where the steak was cut into thin strips and tasted just like the steak my mom makes.  Good food.
