Their songs are on the whole very simple and mostly follow the familiar theme of boy-being meets girl-being beneath silvery moon, which then explodes for no adequately explored reason.
Can't complain too much. Before I got here (and for the first year after I got here) it used to happen 1-2 times a month. So a 10-20x improvement is something.
Still, it pisses me off that we didn't hit the 1 year mark.

This is obscure enough that literally no one on the site knows why we feel sad for you. We do anyway, but without explanation, it's a confused kind of sad. (that guy's good, and he's bummed, so man that sucks)

Joe needs to flip the light from red to i presume, green.
Sorry, late-posting.
That's the general-fault indicator on the front of the main transmitter. Basically a big check-engine light.
We flipped from the main to the aux antenna last night so that tower-climbers could do some work on the west pole atop Sears tower. The TX usually glitches when we do that, but it normally can be remotely reset. This time, cabinet 2, module 10, pallet 6 (a bank of two LDMOSFETs) stayed down. It's a super-duper trivial fault, but it caused the red light to come on, which hasn't happened since we did a complete re-calibration and I re-jiggered the air conditioning system.
'Sall good now. Power-cycled cabinet 2, and it came back up green.

What is the chair for? Sitting and watching for the light to change? Did you let that employee go?

There is a small desk just to the left, on which I have a couple of PCs and monitors. Useful for running diagnostics on the transmitter, and one of them is also accessible remotely so that I can have a copy of the transmitter's control panel accessible from my office:
It's also conveniently facing a window which is just a few floors below the observation deck, so on days when the Supreme Court has just upheld or re-affirmed some basic liberty, you can watch the snowflakes fall.
Some public art which I came across recently:
Really impressed by the detail and symmetry of the veins on the *****.
