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.

?? How could the problem be “at the provider’s end,” and affect only your house? Did you forget to pay your electric bill?

Weirdly, it happened to the only two houses in our street that have infants in them. Huge trucks came and spent hours trying to repair it. The electricity is back on but they’ll have have to keep repairing.
