Mindboggling
(Detail of a poster for the Science Museum)

I love working in a hi-tech enviroment, and I am a gadget geek. And our office really is the center of technology.

In our mailbox today:

Something to remember in the Kitchen on the second floor: it’s on the same circuit as the server room, and the circuit seems to trip if both the dishwasher and kettle are on at the same time.

So if you put the kettle on, try and make sure the dishwasher is off…

…and vice-versa.

And someone hadn’t remembered that today, and guess what happened.

Lots of time for a cup of tea.

    Oh, the blessings of technology! You could add another circuit but then again, tea breaks are worth something.

    That’s not hi-tech! That’s rather stupid! No UPS either? Christ.

    @George : I thought the irony of my writing was clear, but maybe not ?

    And Tea breaks are not bad at all no.
