<Insert Witty Blog Title Here> Part 10

Up until the last week or so my time here has seen a very smooth unfolding of events at the power plant, but this is no longer the case as I mentioned in my previous blog. Stress levels are on the increase with the staff here as every time a problem is...

Oy Vey

Oy Vey! So, Oy Vey is Yiddish for, well it’s difficult to explain. Wikipedia defines it as “Oh Woe” but that has too much of a negative connotation. I think the best way of describing it is as a different way of letting out an exhausted...
