What Causes Absentmindedness For Short Period?

I had a short period of time today probably about 30-60 seconds where I was not aware of what was going on around me. I am usually very attentive during this part of my work day. Today I did not realize it was my turn until I was called twice to present my information. Afterwards I realized that I did not hear the presentation just prior to this episode. I do not remember this happening any other time. Any thoughts?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I don't think there is something wrong with you. Such episodes do happen with every one. As you already know, brain functions are so complex, that it needs to to "hang" for sometime so as to finish what it was doing. Then it comes back to its original state very quickly. Busy people do come across such scenarios. Also brilliant students do. Don;t worry.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
