Blissfully unaware that the Capital City of New Zealand’s power was shut down today I was caught out on the commuter run.  It’s not a good look amongst the local commuterati to be left standing on the platform without a ride home.  With vast amounts of technology at hand you’d think that that would never be the case.  Mental note. Don’t leave cell phone in office.  Seems power was restored after a couple of hours but not before the majority of shops and workers had made a getaway early.
