I worked today, and it decided to storm. There’s nothing like sitting in the break room watching Transformers on tv only to have the power randomly cut off. Twice. Because the lights coming back on is a way for the power and weather to tease you. Thankfully it wasn’t off long. But spending the rest of my break staring at a blue screen saying “can not find signal” was not very exciting :P
The weather also decided to knock out the power later on, but this time I was actually on the sales floor. I left the flashlight I had in the cart (I was zoning at the time) and was in another section to grab something and of course the power went out. I just stood there, as still as possible, waiting for it to come back on. Once it did I sprinted to my cart and grabbed the flash light and carried it with me for about an hour until the storm passed 
‘Cos you know, the power doesn’t go out when you have a flash light near you it’s only when you don’t.
Now the power going off at work I don’t mind, hey I’m getting paid to fiddle with a flash light and run around in the dark until the back up generators kick on. Works for me! But when I’m at home I get soooo bored. Especially if it’s pitch black and I have to use my flashlight like it’s part of me. What do you do when you’re home and the power goes out? I usually watch a movie on my portable dvd player or laptop if they have enough power in them, if not I draw, clean, organize random things, or read. Tomorrow I am seeing Toy Story 3, expect a review of it tomorrow

I’ve never had the power go out when I was at work, but I hate for it to go out at home, especially during the day. I get so bored as well. I’ll usually read a book or magazine, or straighten up the house until it comes back on. At night, I usually just go to sleep.
