Today started off as just a normal Sunday shift with football and fun all day long. I got done with my shift around 6pm, so I figured I'd just stay and hangout until our manager meeting later that night. Sam & I challenged one another to pool, Phylisha was cranking out tunes at the bar, and everyone was hanging out watching football. Everyone started hustling out after the games, leaving only the managers and crew members in the Zone.
Everything was great until the lights flickered and suddenly, in an instant, all of the power went out!!! My first reaction was "It wasn't me, right?" We all made sure that it wasn't an internal issue in the Zone. Once we inspected our area, we walked around the building and realized that power was out in the whole student center. SCARY!
Our reactions to the situation were shockingly calm and relaxed -- we didn't panic and we made sure that everything was okay in the Zone. We made sure to listen to the FM on duty for details, which I thought was really important.
The whole situation was a wake up call since we learned what to do in a situation like that, especially one that affects the whole student center. We made sure to lock up, clean up, and put away our perishable items appropriately. It was scary because I wasn't really sure where the ice cream was going - but now we know what to do in the future. More importantly, I know that I DESPISE dealing with blackouts, since I'm scared of the dark! :)
Stick with us,
Lisa
