Just feel lucky you don't have
ROLLING BLACKOUTS! 
Actually I've gotten lucky and I think I've only been at home once during a blackout, and that was when we had blackouts last year before this whole power trouble started hitting hard.
And I don't think they're gonna be cutting the power to our workplace at Nasa Ames anytime soon... (though when we got back from the Chatsworth invitational there was a note on the door saying the power would be out June 23rd and 24th. We got back at about 5 pm on the 24th and we had power...)
