Two Hour Wasted - Socket Not In Properly

Power cuts are frequent here; you get used to it and do other things to work around it. Today I thought we had a power cut so I left my computer and did a bit of gardening. I kept checking to see whether the power was back on every ten minutes or so, but seemingly nothing for two hours. It wasn’t until I heard the fridge started purring and my computer still wasn’t connected to the Internet that I realised the plug in the socket wasn’t in properly. Two hours wasted.
