"I'm not working all that hard, I'm only getting paid minimum wage"

@eMortal nope, I'm asking how long the euphoria will last...
let me give you an example of what I'm talking about: I live in the hurricane prone area call the gulf coast - and we get multi-day power outages when the storms hit us directly. it's hot and humid and we are looking forward to the time we get our power back and can get some a/c and ice.
then we get our power and we are dancing for joy. and 2 weeks later it's like we've always had power - and we go back to complaining about the power bill.
