Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML

At least your check won't be 5 hrs short. It's hard to get enough hours to make ends meet these days.

Hopefully you got to your car quick enough...

What part of Ohio? Reynoldsburg didn't see shit of that storm, we're desperate for rain

I know we got hit in the northeast, maybe it was the same storm that shut down Cedar Point? :o

Dayton area got hit pretty badly too. Luckily we didn't lose power though. Sorry, OP. I probably still would have left....

That's storm that hit was shitty, I was outside at work bringing carts in, I got soaked

With an office job, OP might be paid on salary, not hours, which would give her cause to want to leave early without losing pay.

I'm not sure about everywhere, but my dad's work gives the employee for 4 hours after they are sent home due to lack of work or other reasons that aren't the employees fault. If this is the case, he would only be an hour short.

horseshoes and hand grenades.... Power outage

You got a short unscheduled break and spent it thinking about what sort of fun stuff you'd do with the extra 5 hours of leisure time you suddenly had. OK, so when you get off work for real, go do that stuff. Now it's both fun and paid for.
