You could, at rush hour, drive to microcenter, buy all the components, drive to home depot and buy a generator and gas can, go back to the office and assemble everything, fill and turn on the generator...in less time than this outage has lasted.

And in this instance the fact that they aren't admitting to their downtime at all...
