Hectic Day at Work

I've been so busy camping and swimming that I haven't had too much time to post. But the other day was a crazy day at work, one of those days that you just want to scream for the merry-g*-round to stop long enough for you to jump off.... actually I love my job; the crazier it is, the better...
So anyway, here in Quietville it started out as any other day. Around noon I got a call from one of the Gas-n-Sips saying they had just been robbed.....
Short bit of info here for non-law enforcement citizens....
Robbed: means you have been held up at gun point or put in some fear of your life while the theft was taking place
Burglarized: means someone broke into your house and stole items
Theft: means simply, items were taken with or without your knowledge
....ok, back to the story. The attendant just said they had been robbed so my first concern was if they were actually robbed. I asked if a gun or other weapon was displayed. She replied no. What actually happened was two guys came in and distracted the attendant with questions while a third male went into the back and stole the money. So this would be a theft.
She gave me the vehicle description and I put the info out into scanner land.
It was a cluster of radio traffic and phone calls for a few minutes. Several departments are three different radio frequencies.... wanting to pull my hair out but loving every second of it... By one o'clock the vehicle was lost and the radio traffic came to a screeching halt. Then....
Bam! The entire town went out. No electricity. Being a 911 dispatcher we have a back up unit that is supposed to keep my phones and radios powered at all times. Uhm... it didn't work. I lost everything!! Once the generator kicked in, I was back in business.... and the phones lit up. Everyone in town decided to call the P*lice to tell them they were out of power and wanted to know why..... of course they didn't think to call the Electric Co. that would make too much sense... We were fielding calls left and right. My boss couldn't get an open line long enough to dial out. Finally after several minutes of in coming calls, she told a caller that if people would quit calling the p*lice about their power being out, she would have time to call the electric co to report the outage.
... note to citizens, when your power goes out, pah-lease don't call the p*lice. Thank you...
Shortly before I left work the power came back on. One of the factories had locked up some sort of circuit. I left worked jazzed, pumped up! Only to came back the next day to a few parking complaints and to run a couple license checks..... *Sigh*
