I went around and un-plugged everything (don't want a power surge to ruin the nice TV, or the computers!). Then called the boss, to let him know I was offline. Then I sat back and listened to the alarm system *beep*beep* every 10-15 seconds. I decided I had better find something to do.
I can't go out...the garage door is electric, and I don't know how to open it by anything other than pressing that glowing button in the garage.
*beep*beep*
Maybe I should call someone. Oh right...my cell phone is dying.
*beep*beep*
It's getting chilly in here...oh, right...the furnace won't turn on because the thermostat is electric.
*beep*beep*
And, that damn alarm system is driving me crazy!
*beep*beep*
So, I turned on the gas fireplace
*beep*beep*
dug out my cross-stitch
*beep*beep*
and plugged my IPod earbuds in.
(woohoo! no more *beep*beep*!!!).
Heaven.
Until the power came back on 1/2 hour later. Damn. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Amazing how much we depend on electricity isn't it? Just as bad as the phone being out...of course your phones were out because they cordless instead of "plugged in".
