The powercut last night has screwed up the networking for the PoS PC that runs the phosphoimager, so I can't get my data off it.
A communal piece of equipment that I'd like to use is booked this morning from 09:30 to 12:30: at 10:40 it was still idle.
The door-swipy system that protects our offices from pilfering students is powered off so I couldn't get into the office just now. Fortunately the phones still worked.
If I didn't have a seminar this arvo and a meeting with the speaker I think I'd bugger off home right now.

I feel for you.
Last weekend I came in for my experiments at 10 pm at night and realised that there had been a power outage sometime during the day. How I discovered it? The lights were still on in the animal facility (although it should have been sleepy sleepy time for them hours earlier) and the computer I needed to use needed a password (which I don't have).
I left early and couldn't do my experiments... not too happy about it.
Good luck and hope your day inproves!!

We had a massive power outage all over the northeastern USA and large chunks of Canada several summers ago... walking down 20 floors in the dark was a bit of an adventure. And the washrooms were hopeless... inside the building, no natural light. Fun 'n games.
