I was trying to figure out at work yesterday why I couldn't SSH into my home PC when nothing had changed. I figured that out when I got home pretty quickly. Guess who'd neglected to check the electric meter?

Tum-te-tum.

I don't quite understand how it ended up 5p in debt. Surely when your meter cuts you off you are cut off, and can't spend any more?

So today involves buying electricity tokens and hoovering and laundry. Fun, eh?

Only 2 days of backshift left. Thanks be. Am exhausted.

Well when you reach zero the meter will still give you electricity, just not very much. I think it is designed so you can turn everything off and keep your freezer or something from completely defrosting.

That's what the woman says for she is on pre-pay.

Oh, well that's useful if you're in the house when it goes off, I guess. Just seems a bit daft.
