Back to Work

Today sees the Gorse Fox's triumphant return to work. Though, the triumph will not be witnessed by anyone as he is working at home because the meeting scheduled for NE Hants has been cancelled (good job he logged on last night to check!)

Cousteau-cub had an IM-conversation first thing. She's still in contact with people in Thailand, and is obviously still worried about them. Sleep patterns are still disrupted. The family of her friend in the Thai hospital, still have not managed to get out to see him. Utterly useless. Fortunately C-c has arranged visits from various other people out there.

Started tracking down the progress of contracts. Needless to say, the project prevention trolls have just sat on the material, and not released it to esteemed client. Must say that the last changes they made increase our risk and make it much more difficult to deliver. Absolutely pointless process with no added value.
The saga continued. Eventually I spoke to a troll who understood... the last changes were revoked, sanity prevailed, and if all goes well the contract should be released today.

The Silver Vixen loaded her car up to take some rubbish to the dump, before going to the shops. Problem is the local household rubbish disposal site has been closed until Easter. Looked online, but no information as to why. What could it be? The excitement mounts!

Added Haloscan to the blog for Comment/Trackback. Not sure if it has much value, but it's worth a try.

Spent a second quiet evening watching Shogun. The DVD has repackaged the old mini-series into 4 episodes of about 130 minutes. Considering how long ago the series was made, it stands up to the test of time. Excellent in every aspect, except the aweful theme music!
