But fear not! We've compiled a list of five things you can do to keep yourself occupied while the electricity gets restored.
Read a book
Get yourself involved in the East Coast Urban #100Booksin2018 challenge. So grab the novel that's sitting in your work desk, chill, and get your read on.
Meditate
If you forgot to hit save on that important work email to your boss, you may want to catch a breather and calm down. Head to a quiet spot in the office and meditate. It's the perfect thing to do to calm yourself down.
Reorganise your workspace
More often than not, our desk gets filled with unnecessary papers and receipts from those work lunches. Use the time to throw out the junk and set everything in place.
Download the ECR App
If you're looking for fun and exciting content to keep you entertained during the outage, download the East Coast Radio App free from Google Play or your app store. It's packed with a live stream function so you can catch up with your favourite show, read news stories, and listen to podcasts. Click here for more info.
Get to know your co-worker
Instead of the awkward silence in the office, use the time to catch up and get to know your fellow co-workers. So the next time you see Sally from sales at the water cooler, you will know exactly who she is.
