As an obsessive Compulsive, I have have to turn any and all electronic devises on or off myself. A power outage is like somebody else turning off everything in the house and then turning it back on. a power outage lasting less than a second can start a panic attack that lasts months which, incidentally, is why I'll be very active on the forums for a few weeks and then disappear for months at a time.

**** yeah I hate power outages.

Yeah... We had a power outage today for three and a half hours. It means that the heat on all my reptiles' enclosures stop, and the timer for my tegu's lamps gets messed up and I have to adjust it when the power comes back on. In that amount of time it stayed warm enough in there for them to be ok, but im glad that it wasn't out for much longer.

I don't hate them, if they are at the right time. Middle of the day...fine. Middle of the night...fine. Any other time...not fine.
But it is kinda cool to have them, and put on the candles. I just don't like the fact that the computer dies.
