They gotta pull the main breaker....

[Sac Arrow]

For about a half hour. No 'puter. No Internets. No email. No lights.

For me, at my work - I would need a pick for "OH $$$it"

Shouldn't happen during work hours unless it was an emergency.

I have plenty of work that only needs paper, pencil and straightedge.

You are living up to your POA name.

That is the apparent case.

Or you have "vintage" breakers like I do. A few years back the main feed breaker to the Continental portion of Terminal 6 decided to trip one morning because (in it's opinion) it deserved a break. Pretty much took a Senior Wizard to coax it back to the closed position.

You forgot an option:

Climb a tall tower, naked, clutching a high powered rifle...

Last time that happened to me I was working dispatch. I just took a long lunch and the students just kept the aircraft longer.

I've been a part of an unscheduled breaker vacation. Turning a long final, I clicked for the lights and ended up blowing out the airport lighting transformer and tripping the breaker. The entire airfield looked like it was having a seizure.

The cause was found to be that the back forty taxiway lights were underwater from it raining and subsequently shorted out.

Would take a major catastrophe,not to be ready for the next POA post.

Sounds like the old christmas light problem. If one goes, they all go!

Too cold out for that.

Afraid you will get your tongue stuck to the pole..??

You missed the obvious choice of "Masturbate furiously in the men's room."

That's covered by item #10. Problem is it will be pitch dark in there. The hallway would be okay except it would be really, really inconvenient if the power came back on early.

The Latina one . . .was that flashlight or fleshlight?

Prob go for a bike ride if there was someone else home. None of the self-pleasuring options work because what if they get done early and you need to come down to sign something?

I keep a backup computer in my desk. It's a Pickett Microline 140.

Batteries last absolutely forever, but they are REALLY hard to change.

... and a candle? Or whale oil lamp?

It was pretty anticlimactic. They didn't need to pull the main after all, they were able to isolate the trouble circuit and fix it. No drinking, no procreation in the hallway closet, no self abuse, no excuse to take off.

Oh well.

That's exactly our issue on our taxiway signs. They will work for about a week before something blows and takes out the whole system. They stopped replacing the blown bulbs, as there is no practical use since we only have one taxiway.

Darn it..!!!!

I would keep working since my laptop has a battery and I can tether with my cell phone to get internet access.

I can't choose two? I can get self pleasurement and a nap in.

The sun was still up.

Good point. One leads to the other.

Since we do not electricity in Wyoming,,,, I would crank up the ol trusty Pewlett Hackard gas powered PC and check for POA posts..............
