Power Hungry!

Hmm... have you ever come across a situation where all the appliances seemed to die on you AT THE SAME TIME like they are on strike or something (like the recent strike in France against a new bill that gives companies the right to fire, without any need for explanation or compensation, employees under 26)?

My optical mouse, fan remote control, TV remote control and alarm clock... ALL ran out of battery! Together! Suddenly I find myself in a 'power hungry' situation. I had to 'share' two AA batteries from another appliance to switch off my computer, off my fan, switch channels, off my TV and set my alarm before bed. Time to get one of those Energizer 16-batt promo pack liao... before those 2xAA batteries overwork themselves...

And go on strike too. Anyway, I think the French should have seen it coming. I didn't see mine.
