For some reason the UPS (uninterruptible power source? universal power sucker? The whatsit that sits on the floor) has been making a lot of funny noises lately – just now it started clacking and beeping almost constantly.

I don’t know if it’s worth waking Da Hub up over (he’s already asleep). If he becomes partly conscious when I go up, I’ll tell him.

It’s never a good thing to wake a technically-minded husband out of a sound sleep just to tell him “Honey, the thing is beeping again.” But this gadget is starting to make quite a racket, and that’s never a good thing.
