You've never been on firewatch duty at a job before eh? If you're unfamiliar, it's when somebody needs to do welding or similar work requiring the use of an open flame in a work environment where that is not typically done or required. The job is to literally stand (or sit) around with a fire extinguisher at hand and watch them while they do their work, and to use the fire extinguisher if anything should happen.
A buddy of mine once had to do this in the middle of a parking lot for half a day. It was required to be done even though there was literally nothing nearby to catch on fire, so he grabbed the chair out of the office and just sat there and shot the shit with the guy will he worked on the sewer access or w/e.
