    Shift report
    B. H. Samset
    
    This morning when I came on shift, the sun was shining 
      bright.
    A Cooling Failure had just been fixed that had troubled the 
      machine all night.
    
    At ten'o'clock we were promised beam, though they did not
      say just when,
    but at eleven they sadly reported a Cooling Failure once 
      again...
    
    Not everything was gloomy though, there was still reason to 
      smile,
    'cause this problem meant that our IR was open for a while.
    
    So Dana and Hiro saddled up and went in to do the chore
    of cabling up the phototubes of our new pride: C4.
    
    Now, because I'm such a good shifter, and because it's so 
      much fun,
    I sat down at the DAQ to do a TPC pedestal run.
    
    This turned out to be somewhat hard, no data at all got 
      through,
    and Flemming had to come up and recycle the power on TPM2.
    
    I then had a look at the pedestals in T1s first two padrows,
    but as I click the buttons, by gosh, no time bin profile 
      shows!
    
    It appeares these rows were both quite dead, and we found 
      out how long for:
    It happened sometime in sequence 5 of run 8044.
    
    Luckily another power cycle got the sleeping rows to awaken,
    now everything seems a-ok, and new pedestals have been 
      taken.
    
    At three: They're promising imminent beam, current problems 
      are dispersed,
    though they will run a 6 bunch ramp to test Landau cavities 
      first.
    
    That's it for now, and if you find this report somewhat 
      shrouded in fog,
    I advice you to go on the net and check out our nice e-log.
    
    A note of caution at the end: when I came in the coff-
    ee maker had been on all night - please remember to turn it 
      off!
