Fiat Lux. Please?

I have just spent an hour in the dark. I'm not being metaphorical about this; half the light bulbs on the ground floor have gone, and so some of the book shelves are in near total darkness. This, as you can imagine, makes re-shelving fun. It didn't help that, last week having been brought to us by the letter 'P', this week seems to be brought to us by the letter 'k'. It's the beginning of one of our classification marks, and I'm surprised there was actually anything on the shelves at that point. It's also the part of the book stack that's in the deepest darkness. After twenty minutes or so, I emerged, blinking, into the main library, blinded by the 60 watt bulbs.

If the designer of the library is out there, I'd very much like to meet him. I'd like to hear why he designed book cases that reach all the way to the ceiling, and so block the cages over the florescent bulbs. How many electrical engineers does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to look at the ceiling and tut, the other to explain to the staff that, because of the lousy design, they can't actually change the damn things at all. So far, we've lost about six florescent tubes and sixteen small round lights. Can't wait to find out what happens when the rest of them go....

( On a more Houseian note (including spoiler: ye be warned) )

Halloween fic

Right, it's finally done, the last sequins are stuck on and it's ready to go. Actually, as costumes go, it's more the equivalent of throwing a sheet over your head and calling yourself a ghost, but hey - it's my costume and I'll wear what I want :P

Much kudos to karaokegal for throwing the best Come As You Aren't party in LJ-land.

Thanks to perspi as ever - the original draft was a ficlet for her, and it grew into this. Please note that it's un-beta-ed, so if you spot a typo, let me know!
