Hi All,
Logged in from Work (for the first time). Hmmm, I am not sold on the HP monitors we have to use. Appear to use the dodgy Display port connection and are a little odd in that when they wake up (not power cycled...) they have a visible flickering / wiggly line down them which works itself across the screen. Also the random turn off for about 2 seconds. If I bought them they would have gone back.

Huzzah! Your wallet is glad you are working.
Is the bartender at the pub happy though?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Been working for some time, didn't want to log in too soon... yes the moths have escaped, mind you these days nearly everything is done via card, as for the Bar Tender he muttered something covid and elephant-ed off...

Maybe you have American models with a different Hz setting?

Don't think its that after all it powered off a switch mode and it's digital comms to the monitor via Display Port...

I have to HP monitors (the third is Philips), one DVI-I and one HDMI... Both work perfectly... Yo may have and HDMI beside DisplayPort you can switch to, it is very common...

It's all hooked via Display Port, thinking back you could 'con' display port to show non-standard resolutions...

IT Support - fix it. Glitches in the video are not acceptable. Send me your post address, and I will email you "Mr. Paperclip" that will permanently kill your glitchy monitor.
I have zero toleration for IT groups that toss out crap to developers.

Further poking reveals it could be the docking station... Also I'm a Hardware Guy not a Softie (I refuse to call LabView a programming language  )

Amen to that (the tabview comment).
My reference to Mr. Paperclip goes back to a conversation in 2001. Another group of engineers was trying to work on 15" monochrome displays that were horrendous. I asked their manager, who is one of two of the biggest ass-hats I have ever met, why he didn't buy them current tech. I had just upgraded my team's displays to 21" Viewsonics (heyday at the time). "They still work." He said this in front of his team.
After he left, I suggested they just drop a paperclip down inside the electronics.

After death, the priest and scribe supervised. (12)

Administered ?
After death = Ad ( Anno Domini )
Priest = minister
Scribe = Ed ( editor )

Yes, you solved it Pete. Here's your first place medallion : 🏅

Doesn't Anno Domini mean "Year of the Lord"?

Thank you! I tried - I even hastily threw my answer up before going back to edit in the definition, but Pete was just too foxy for me!

I resemble that remark

Bugger, was feeling very smug when I got it and it turns out I was third!

Time for Oi Landor
Edit
I meant Randor, Landor is a dodgy pub in Brixton

Despite all of my years practice, every now and again, even now, there are still times where it feels like WPF hates me! 
Right now my custom ListBox subclass that I am editing for the n-th times really behave.. like it shouldn't!!!
Why, oh why doth you hateth me so?!
