I think I have to call an electrician on monday. A neon light in the basement has developed a habbit of only working when it wants to. Usually you get light after you've flicked the switch for like 20 times, but sometimes you only get a flicker or no light at all. I tried to replace the lamp of course and we removed the switch to see if there's some physical damage visible maybe or if just cleaning it and putting it back in would help. It didn't.

And it's not the fact that the lamp isn't working that's annoying me, it's the fact that it is not not working sometimes. You know, it's like Windows. Something doesn't work and you kind of accept it and then it suddenly works again and you don't know why and for the next week you are waiting for it to stop working again, also for no aparent reason or maybe because Uranus is in the seventh house to have lunch with Venus ... for all I know Windows could be programmed by mad astrologists. Wouldn't that explain so much?

Eh, how did this become a rant about Windows? What I should really rant about is having to find an electrician who doesn't charge a fortune for a house call.
