I know we look pathetic and some here are probably thinking it, but this is our livelyhood. This is similar to having a grocery store and the main road leading to it got flooded. Google is that road to us.
Yay, when I search for my domain.com I'm number 1. Surely this is how it should be?
Come on Google do the right thing, you have had your playtime, now let's get to work.

My question is...how on earth can you stand to live like that? Having your livelhood resting in the hands of an entity over which you have no control is (IMHO) madness.
I think you people are looking at this the wrong way. As opposed to checking various datacenters every few minutes, why not use that time more wsely to pursue other sources of traffic IN CASE your google traffic does not come back anytime soon. Where will you be a week from now if you've wasted all this time checking and rechecking to see if your site came back? No better off than you are now!
It's like asking a stranger to hold your rope while you rappel off a cliff!
