Actually, we probably can't blame squirrels this time

Electrical transformer went offline at work, just before 4 lab classes were about to start. Whee! My office has no windows, so with no power to do computer work (no WiFi either, and I don't have any work related stuff loaded on my EEE) and no light to do non-computer work, I have repaired to the comic shop and its WiFi.

And we're in some mirror universe because our building's still entirely electrified. Well, not entirely -- our one fidgety lab has lost half its power six times in the last 24 hours. It's always something. And I keep hearing sirens....

I don't understand...how can you have a power outage WITHOUT setting a squirrel on fire? Is this some sort of new power-outage technology? Not having to set the squirrel on fire could really reduce the greenhouse gas emissions during blackouts...
