Monday Stuff...

Really hot today, and apparently going to go nuclear by mid week. It's all good, shame I've got to work. Really sleepy today, something to do with 85 hours work last week, and no weekend because of work. So, at what point do you decide you just need to recover fully? Well, for me, it's now. Mucho sleep from any minute now until whenever tomorrow morning.

At werk today, a BT engineer came over, on behalf of Cable and Wireless. Apparently there was a fault... He took a look at the comms equipment, and pointed out a red light on one device.

"That means there's not enough light coming up the fibre. I'm here to measure it, so I'll have to knock out that circuit for a few minutes", he said [I'm paraphrasing]
"Okay, but what does this circuit do for us?", I asked.
"That red light means there's not enough light from the fibre. I'll unplug it and measure it, so it'll knock out the circuit for a few minutes", he said.
"Yes, okay, but what does this circuit provide to us. What's it connected to?", I asked.
"That red light means there's not enough light from the fibre. I'll unplug it and measure it, so it'll knock out the circuit for a few minutes", he said.

Fortunately, his phone rang, so he rudely answered it. Otherwise we'd probably be there still.
