Blonde moment
I got rather worried yesterday when, with 20 minutes to the end of the day and a 15 minute tape to complete, my computer suddenly went blank. In fact, beyond blank. Completely dead.
I tried to get it to work, tried they keyboard, tried turning it on, checks all the cables were still plugged in. Nothing worked. IT's best suggestion was to unplug it, plug it back in and try again. Failing that, go home.
So I went to unplug the thing, only to find that in my kicking around to reach my pedal I'd kicked the power switch off.
Oops.

lol - this happened at our office today almost exactly!
My boss was at my office today and used one of our terminals to do some work. She was on the phone to IT for about 20 minutes fiddling with connections and turning it on and off again, complaining that she couldn't dial in to the network.
They were searching for flashing lights on the base unit and trying to fathom why everything that they were asking her to check was fine and yet she had no system access.
Turns out - it was unplugged at the wall!
Did either of them think to check that?
Err... nope!
