Hire a bouncer-type part-time and let him sit next to you watching the PnL, when it hits a pre-defined level have him rip the power cord out of the wall. Seriosly though, you can't just shut everything down at a certain point and leave the house/office? Run errands, play with the kids, drive...

After 5 minutes in the DMV or Post Office my general misanthropy becomes borderline pathological. Honestly, I'd prefer they get paid minimum wage to sit at home and do nothing. Of course, that would increase their potential for procreation, which could be worse.
