Department of it could have been worse

[bktheirregular]

Around about noon, we had a momentary power outage at the office. Lights blinked and came back ... and computers shut down. Anyone who hadn't saved their work lost it. The usual, which is why you always need to save your work.

(I didn't have anything open, thankfully.)

But, as always, it could be worse. Well, for one of my office-mates, it *was* worse: she couldn't turn on her computer after the outage at all. As it turned out, the fluctuation had burned out her computer's power supply. Which is ... kind of a hassle to fix. Or replace, as the case turned out to be.

Guess I got off lucky.
