Todays Power outage (1 Viewer)

[JimmyK]

Anyone affected??? I was sitting in the concourse and people kept playing chess right up until some security guard with a large mag light came along and told us to move.. even though we were in no danger what so ever.

I just went home... there was no point in me staying round.

Who had classes when the power went out??

 

[Logistics]

I was affected big time, I think I'll have to sue the UNI now.

Na it was good, I got to catch up with some old friends. I didn't have classes anyway

[Silver And Cold]

I was in the library and I went back to throw stuff in my locker and I couldn't figure out where the hell everyone had gone. And then I nearly got stuck in the Union Centre cuz they locked all the doors But otherwise not affected

I wish my classes were cancelled though sniff

 

[rockets]

what time did it go off and anyone know when it actually came back on for building 2?

 

[airie]

One of my classmates from IPT didn't finish her assessment task which is due today because of that power failure

why we're you at uni yesterday james? or are you in that odd wednesday networking 1 class.. ?

I cannot see why everyone was evacuated from the buildings. Just open the blinds of the windows and there should be enough light for classes to continue. It is just not fair to disrupt everyones learning because the lights go out.

We were told they had identified the problem and it would take half an hour to fix it at least so my friend and I left and it turns out our tute was cancelled anyway later when they still hadn't fixed it

This is my story:

I walk across the road from building 6 into the bottom level of the Bon Marche. Oddly enough there is a woman in security guard holding the door wide open - so I go in. I press the button for the elevator and the elevator opens, so I walk in and it takes me to level 2.

I walk to the lounge where the computers are[not working at the time] and I see not a soul - AVS is closed, faculty office closed etc. Now I need a computer so I decide to go the tower and walk along the corridor to the door - another security guard is there plus a dude fiddling with the door and outside that door is a gargantuan crowd of people. So I ask the security guard if I'm allowed to leave via that exit, and I get a reply something like this:
"You aren't supposed to be in here!:burn: How did you get in?"

And thus I am escorted out of Bon Marche(even though I wanted to leave anyway...), into the throng and a dude is on a megaphone saying:
"There has been a power malfunction"etc.

Its at this point I realise I was in the elevator around the time the power problems were happening...

You should put this into the 'Stuck in uts lift' thread Many stories have been shared like this

Maybe we could start a support group to help you recover from the terror of the event

Most of the classes after 6 pm were held, including mine.

There was a water issue as well as electricity, so people weren't allowed in until around 5:30 or so.

lighting is not the only issue. when there is not sufficient power there may be problems with other parts of the building which could interfere with like lifts, and emergency water supplies if there was a fire. so thats why everyone was evacuated.. i think.

In other news, the fire alarm went off in Building 4 on Thursday I think

hhahaha yep, I was leaving the gym when it happened. the yellow siren was going off, was like wtf.

 

[jase_]

It's because they are still doing construction and stuff in Bld 4 and any sort of spark or smoke sets off the alarm. Same thing used to happen in Building 10 when I was a first year and when it first opened, we got evacuated like once a week

 

[DigitalFortress]

what do u think of your Computing major?

 

[jase_]

Well that's a bit off topic. If you like programming, then it's probably best sub-major to do as it teaches you both web-programming and application programming, and you can apply these concepts to most applications you will come across.

 

[DigitalFortress]

and accounting gives you CA or CPA? accreditation doesn't it?
Is it dull or is it interesting
