Why is it taking so long to restore power?? Has anyone in Manhattan been hit?

Manhattan’s power lines mostly run underground so it’s less likely to be affected by bad weather/debris.

A few of my friends in Queens and Long Island got hit pretty hard. Similar timeframes for restoring power :( most of my coworkers are using their phone hotspots for work and then charging phones and laptops in a family car....

How do you charge a laptop in a car?!

I'm applying for a job that wants at least two business or professional references. Thing is my current job is my first job out of college and I don't want them contacting my current employer. Who am I suppose to list as a reference? Leave it blank although they personally asked for references? List college professors? Ask a coworker to be a reference and not spread work I'm leaving?

I took adderall while I was studying for the bar and it really helped. I don’t have a prescription but am wondering if this likely means I have undiagnosed ADHD but don’t know how to bring this up to my doctor.

Do you think getting Aderall could help even though I’m doing fine? Maybe I’ll go from good associate to great
