Quote of the day:
"Being an optimist after you've got everything you want, doesn't count."
Kin Hubbard
13:00  Amanda is off sick again, but word about the "straight-desk revolt" has reached her. Now she makes it look like Muriel and I haven't "passed on the message in a positive way". Huh! I take all the blame if necessary! But I know what Karin is thinking, and it's my job to warn Amanda. She's booked a meeting with Karin and me. I think I have worse problems... ;-)

The interview phase has now officially been delayed until February 6th. The stuff I could do in the meantime...!

17:30  I've made a phone call (!) and ordered the Zeit subscription for Nicole. She'd better like it!! The collection has yielded about 80 pounds!
I've also gotten a card for her. I didn't find one I really liked, but hey...

20:00  I have been to the gym again. Got to keep myself busy! The cool-down song in Body Attack 51 is this song Hope (by Faith Evans ?), which always throws me...

Cuz I'm hopeful, yes I am,
Hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And he'll make a way
I know it ain't easy
But that's okay

 

Got the scanner from Stephen, and it's working. However, I can't be bothered to work much now. My inspiration is lying a bit low at the moment.

No, I don't think I'm being soppy......

Person of the day:
George Galloway
Good thing of the day:
Stephen Fry is on "Who Do You Think You Are" tonight, I love Stephen Fry! :-)
Annoyance of the day:
Investigating the "wrong URLs issue", I've discovered that the Microsoft WorkFlow does not overwrite existing entries -- it adds them as duplicates! It's no wonder then that the incorrect URLs still get applied after an update! The developers know about this. What kind of database would ever work like that?! So why does our most important WorkFlow TM work like that?! It doesn't make sense in the slightest...!!! Argh!
This is exactly what I have been saying since the start of the project: Don't put the URLs in the TM! But does anybody listen to me?! Not yet...
Song of the day:
Can't Stop Now
(Keane)

...But I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely
And I'm too tired to talk...
