I sit at a desk most of the time. I have been working to coordinate the two contractors that work for me and also making fixes/changes to try to get our electric division to get the information they need from their systems back to the HQ, in addition to doing my regular job. I have a few minutes here and there now that most of what I can actually do is past to go online. I have to tel to Verizon all the time to try to find out status' of the various data circuits we have from them, lots of time on the phone
Got this in a corporate email a few minutes ago

PSE&G storm update – Nov. 9 at 11:45 a.m.
• Outages:
o 33,600 remain from Hurricane Sandy. Power has been restored to 98 percent of 1.7 million customers impacted.
o 21,700 remain from the Nor’easter Wednesday night.
• PSE&G expects to have power restored to 99.5 percent of remaining customers by midnight tonight. There may be some customers whose restoration will extend into the weekend, depending on the amount of repairs that need to be done. The utility and out-of-state crews will continue to work around the clock until the last customer is back in service.
• Most of the remaining outages result from localized issues that could not be corrected after a system or circuit outage was restored. Since service restoration began, PSE&G has replaced at least 2,500 poles and 1,000 transformers, as well as cut down 41,000 trees, to repair widespread damage from the hurricane. Contrary to rumors, PSE&G has ample supplies of poles and other equipment on hand.

The sheer volume of 1.7 million customers is astounding, I think we only have 2.5 million customers or something. Not to mention 41,000 trees cut down.
Got a link to
this too. Its an article from CBS news
Quote from the article

PSE&G’s Mike Giardina is in many ways powerful. His job is to help fix the damage from the storms that hit our area and get your home up and running.
He does it cheerfully, even though he, himself, is powerless. His home at the Jersey Shore was inundated with three feet of water, so he can’t live there.
