Things to do after the dude from the power company visits to turn off your power for non-payment…

call wife, and wonder why you don’t do the bills yourself. oh yeah, because they suck, i forgot.
drink beer
empty the trash cans. All of them.
destroy a wasp nest. Actually, knock it on the ground and watch the guard wasp freak out. They have little concept of gravity, it seems.
drink beer (and hope the power gets turned back on before the rest of the fridge warms up.
clean some stuff out of the garage
drink beer
build a hellacious fire made of branches cut down during the internet connectivity crisis from a few months ago
pet cat
drink beer (and wonder how much food is gonna spoil in the fridge)
practice rant for the next drumming
ponder how many things are dependent on you having power, like being able to recharge your phone which is, surprise! almost dead
drink beer
greet the power dude when he arrives to turn on your power. Be friendly with the same, and he might give you one of hose little plastic tags so the next time you can turn your power back on yourself.
drink beer
answer phone call from the project manager who got a text a couple hours ago about you being out of power How was your afternoon?
