Welu:
My tutor went on maternity leave a couple of weeks ago. Our sub? Her husband. So guess why our sub tutor didn't show up this morning. :-D I'm not annoyed but it they, as in the higher-ups or whoever decided he'd be subbing, should have thought of this scenario.
My classmates and I were joking that this was probably why the sub hadn't shown up and then someone found out so that was kinda funny. Some people said couldn't they have sent an email. Maybe? We don't know whether she went into labour at midnight or twenty minutes before class. Plus they live nearly two hours away anyway, in the Republic, so it's not like they're at the town hospital. In any case I'm fairly sure the students getting the classroom unlocked was one of the last things on their mind.

Nice one! A reflection, perhaps of the "unrepairability" of modern electronic devices? Or was it a software thing?

They should hire you! Or maybe me, except that I don't want to live in the UK. Cold!

No, it's a known regular fault - won't stay turned off unless a charger is plugged in (and boots if it is removed); also power consumption rockets. I asked the cause, and they said "no idea - we follow the flowchart and it says replace".

I was thinking I can bring my entire network up from cold (including the Exchange Server, which is slower than a slow thing to start and stop) in less time than I stood there waiting for the forms to be filled in.

The temperature has gone above 5 degrees for a few days now; it reached 8 here today (but still a night frost).

That... doesn't sound very good?
