Busy again..

Second day at OUP today doing the installations and seeing people. Has gone okay and thankfully the two temps working with me are on the ball and could deal with lots of the queries once shown. Typically, nearing the end of the pile we said how well it was going and then hit a purple patch of failures…nightmare! Mostly sorted and should be possible for John to finish them tomorrow. Just as well as I am out with another client training Communigator and Data Mining, thankfully only up the road in Deddington.

Came home and collapsed, it’s been hard work and as expected I then received an email from someone who’s testing the install and everything was wrong! That was hard to take, and very frustrating, it can be reversed but when you’ve been working your nuts off and it appears for no good reason then it’s a little disappointing to put it mildly. Something to sort out tomorrow then!

Everyone was in a good mood at home, Jack had William round and they were on the PC all night, they’re asleep on the sofa now as William is staying over the night. Jack made me laugh as he warned William that he (Jack) needs to get up at 7.00am to do his paper-round so is he(William) sure that he wants to stay the night?

Charlotte and Jack are delivering the Oxford Mail every day for this week only as they’re covering the usual lad’s Summer Holiday – it’s not good money but they do have anything else coming in so need anything that can come their way. Especially with St Giles Fair coming to town next week.

Lewis is off to a party tomorrow night with his girlfriend, Georgia, hopefully. She’s let him down a few times recently so it’s not definite that he’ll go I suspect. It does mean that there is a ticket free for me to go with the family to Stratford tomorrow to watch Macbeth. Haven’t seen that since I was at school, and even then that was at the Young Vic and was a modern adaptation of the play. Looking forward to it as it’s one of his better ones I reckon.

Finally, today is Transfer Deadline Day – it’s the day in the year when gossips and rumour-mongers have a field day texting into the BBC website all sorts of crap. It’s a bi-yearly event that grips everyone, but I must admit I forgot about it until getting home and then decided that the best thing to do is simply wait until the morning so that the actual transfers that took place can be reported – saves a lot of wasted time.

Anyway, another busy day tomorrow so best get to bed…
