Electricity died. Which is very relevant in the midst of an endless heatwave.

At first, I grabbed the Yellow Pages and started dialing. Of course, nobody was picking up anywhere.

And then I realized that I was acting like I wasn’t even living in the 21st century. So I found an app that is a sort of an Uber deal for all sorts of workers and within minutes got contacted by a pair of electricians who were driving by and were available to help.

The electricians came, diagnosed the issue, told me the problem was at the provider’s end, and wrote down what I need to tell customer service. And they didn’t charge anything because they prefer a good review.
