Buy a UPS. Now. Even if it's just a big battery that will only keep you running for 10 mins - at least that will give you enough time to do a clean shutdown -h rather than get stuff trashed. If you can't get money for it, just point at the lost-productivity costs the *next* time the terabyte takes 2 days to recover.. and remind the boss that you could be down for 2 days every time the lights flicker.. ;)
