Lights are down in Georgia...er... Tulsa

To accompany my job where I work, we rely on a three digital projectors casting alarm info on the wall in front of us. Currently, my group, has three rows of people. But truthfully, on the Mid shift, we could probably cram together on the front row, seeing as there is only 6 of us at full staff.

Anyway, last Tuesday, one of the projectors turned itself off. Just total darkness on the screen. One of the guys here jacked with it a bit, and got it come back on. Next night, or rather, early Thursday morning, the same projector blinked off again. And then oddly enough, about twenty minutes later the one next to it did the same thing. No amount of smacking or cable-jigglin' worked.

Keep in mind, these screens are not vital, as we still have sets around the NOC that display the same information as what's shown up on the wall, but as nobody can sit next to four computer's worth of alarms and trusted sets, it's just handy to look up and see on the screens what is down and what needs our attention.

Today will mark 6 full days for these two projectors being down. It's a little odd, not for the fact that our ever-present alarm list is gone, but also for the lack of light right here. I sit directly in front of the one on the end, and Patrick sits square in front of the middle one. Without that light to illuminate this area, it's a tad dark on the front row. Especially after Pat's assault strike against the spotlight that was above him, we are in some serious dim.

The thing that worries me the most is the group of bats nesting above our heads...
