We're having the discussion in the office about getting a coffee machine - the main issue is that the kitchen is near the work area where people spend a lot of time on Teams, and they can get quite noisy. Today's whiteboard poll is Coffee Machine or Air Fryer.

Having just recently got an air fryer at home and just discovered the joys of air-fried bacon, I'm still on the side of Coffee Machine.

I've had it a few times, the first time was the worst because I had no idea what was going on. Didn't have it again for about 10 years and at the time I was flying regularly so I'd take a nasal spray for the descent and also try to breathe out my ears (hold nose and mouth and blow). Only a couple of occassions since that there's been a little, but I do get anxious at times.

I keep getting stuck here all the time.

Just received the invoice from the sparky after our mains entry point burnt out and needed an after-hours replacement. It's in the ballpark I was expecting (in fact maybe a bit under), but not so high that it's worth going through house insurance to only save a couple of hundred once I pay the excess.

Hopefully today will be better than yesterday. Had a power cut. Friends down the road also lost power. Called power co, they logged with lines co. As it got darker I then noticed neighbours had power, took a tour around - yes we were the only ones out. Called back power co to find out where lines co was. They were dispatched 20 minutes ago, still took another hour to show up (still night so no mass storm damage to hold things up). Lines co finally arrived, discovered that our point of entry had burnt out and needed replacement by electrician. This is 8.30pm. House is dark, no heating. Looked for a sparky (found one through our local FB group and then tracked him down to find a number). He came and replaced, then had to call back power co to tell lines co to come back out to reconnect. Back on at midnight.

Awaiting invoice....

Were these the same guys that brought over the "monster truck" rally?

That's assuming there's a shred of humanity in either of them.

I had to let you know what a report looks like :) (but I now realise you may have had them in your other modcomms)
