John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Powerless Power Pack

Powerless power pack.

And today was one of those days I walked, confidently tonight, strutted really, as because I knew my power pack was with me and ready for action at the critical moment my battery drained out.

Well, it happened. Out it came, and I cockily inserted my dying iphone and then punched the power packs nifty power button. But nothing. Again, I pushed and poked and pressed every button I could find. But the power pack wasn’t up for it tonight.

Maybe it was a charging issue.

Maybe it just didn’t feel like saving the day.

Because even power packs need days off.

I couldn’t get mad.

I sympathetically and discreetly slipped the pack back into my pocket.

Didn’t want to embarrass it.

And just before I tucked it away, I held it up and said, “Don’t feel bad. I have had the same thing happen to me on multiple occassions. Let’s go home, get in bds and just watch cable and get recharged. Maybe tomorrow night…”
