Embrace the darkness.

SoCal's been going through its latest "OMG how do we not have enough power" crisis (answer: because our population is growing and we keep refusing to build more power plants, numbskulls!) In response, the office building has lowered the lighting in the halls to levels normally reserved for the weekends.

You know what this means, of course...

...office lasertag!

I don't get it. Exactly why don't they have any power in Queens?

SoCal = Southern California. We have an energy crisis every summer because everyone turns on their air conditioning at once.

I thought Arnold cut down all the trees in California to keep that kind of stuff from happening these days.

Heh. Maybe if they turned their air conditioners on and their TVs off, some power might be saved. Unplug the microwave, turn off the video games for a while, that sort of thing.

Or the power plants might also be a good idea, yeah. The way you describe it makes me think of my old landlord. We had a leaky toilet that we called him to fix. He never replied to the message. A year later, when we were about to move, he came in to inspect the place, saw the toilet, and said, "You should have called me! I've been paying a lot more money out for water for this building for months! We checked all the apartments months ago, except for this one, and we couldn't figure out what was happening!"
