I’ve been running behind on writing articles for this site so what you’re seeing is pretty much written a few hours before you see it. Fresh is better, right?
I’m not going to get to it right now. We just got struck by lightning. Literally.
I was sitting in front of my computer at home on a video call with Ned, our marketing director. It was raining and thundering. It got louder and louder right up until – BANG. Ned was gone. Sparks went sailing by the window.
I rushed downstairs and everyone was fine. We checked things out and found the garage door going crazy so I pulled the plug. I went up to the attic and smelled smoke, but only a little – it was probably from the strike itself.
We kept checking things out and sniffing around. I had to disassemble the garage door opener to get it open. It was trashed.
Then we decided we definitely smelled smoke downstairs. Lisa called the fire department, we grabbed some photos and headed out.
Five firetrucks arrived and quickly determined that nothing was burning. A bunch of neighbors came out and asked to have their houses checked. It was like a block party.
Once the firetrucks left we started calling repair people. An electrician came and went to work within an hour. He found an switch that had been blown off the wall. Most of our circuit breakers had flipped. A bunch of outlets and fixtures were damaged.
We found a bunch of dead gadgets – my Macbook Pro, a cordless phone, the printer, scanner, router, etc. Oh well, at least no one was hurt.
The garage door guy is here now – got here without 2 hours of our call. The cable people are coming tomorrow (good thing I have a Verizon MiFi or you wouldn’t be reading this right now) and we should be back to normal with the exception of the landline. This might be the end of the road for our AT&T phone. They won’t come for a week.
Anyway, that’s why you aren’t getting a family law practice management agree. You’ve got to agree – this is a big step up from “the dog ate my homework.”
