Incident in Lab

I went to Uni's lab to do my comp sys lab project today. Needed the hardware board in the lab. 1/2 way through, my comp station suddenly went out. My 1st thought was the internal hardware burnt out as I had this experience before with mine. I started to worry, my mp3 CD is still in the disc drive. It was my 1st time listening mp3 using a CD, I usually just listen to a few songs in my thumb drive but I just gotten FF7AC OST, around 115MB, too much space for my 128MB thumb drive which has already contained my Uni stuff in it. Rotten luck! Further more, there is no where to find a paper clip in the lab to insert into the ejection hole.

Suddenly, it hit me that it could be because of the power supply. The station where I was, is 1 of the 4 stations customly made by the Uni at the centre of the lab, 2 stations back to back, the rest of the stations are along the wall. The power supply is found on the floor opposite the 2 stations where I was and there was a group of 3 people there. I went over and saw 1 of the 2 switches turned off! Must be the feet of 1 of those 3. I told them what happened and asked them to turn the switch on, and my station was back on. They apologized to me as well. Fortunately, I saved my work moments before the power went out.
