woke up to quiet..too quiet....half of my power was off. turns out the main breaker outside under the meter went bad, and half the box wasn't getting any juice. took all of 5 minutes to fix....after my boss talked to his friends at the electric office. at first it was one of those "it'll be tomorrow" things, and then a "you need to have an inspector" thing....
we didn't need them at all, but since it was the main breaker, you can't get to it without taking the meter loose, and if you break the little security seal, they'll shit all over themselves, and try to splash you with as much of it as possible. so he had to talk to his buddy, then they sent a guy right over to take the meter off for us, and then reinstall it and put a new seal on it. they do have to come "inspect" the work, which can be read as "they have to come do nothing and charge us 50 bucks to do it"....but it's done, and the inspector is scheduled.
surprised the breaker lasted as long as it did, looks like shit inside
