Bizarre

   Posted by: lyle    in D4D™, Domestic, Weirdness

When I moved to Attleborough, I discovered there was another blogger in the town, Mr Lionel Rarsh. Hardly a shocker, knowing there’s another loon in the same small market town. After all, I suspect there were several in Bracknell, except no-one would dare admit it. Coming from there, I mean.

Anyway, in an email today it transpires that he lives exactly three houses away from me. And in a street/road of about 30 houses, those odds are pretty fuckin’ high, it has to be said.

Bizarre indeed.

Way back on Thursday, I came in to find my desk in darkness. The light-fighting above it had broken (well, wasn’t working) – not that I minded, because it was quite nice to not have any glare on my monitor, and it meant the display worked a lot more nicely too.

Anyway, they tried replacing the fluorescent tubes in the light fitting, to no avail. A couple of flickers, then zap, back to darkness. So they decided to call in an electrician.

He came in yesterday, took a look at it, and left. Still in darkness.

It’s been replaced today, so I’m back to the world of light, and glare.

I have to say, I preferred it when the light fitting was broken.
