Cheers!
Thank you. It's not going too well so far. I spent this morning in a networking meeting listening to some old fart talk about business (can't even remember what he was on about) followed by some women with huge hair like off the hair bear bunch (remember that) bending my ear about the joys of obtaining funding for IT for her Heritage project or sumfink!
On return home I stepped out of the gate to put something in the van which is parked out on the road out of the way as we are awaiting an oil delivery and without knowing I stepped in a huge fresh dog turd which I then trod in the van. This the. Resulted in me going ballistic and round robin emailing the parish group to see what can be done. Amazingly the culprit has owned up and apologised.
haven't decided what to do with him yet. Been to the gym for an hour and a half to calm down. It can only improve.

All the IT people I have ever known fall into three categories. 1. Complete nerd Propeller heads who cannot communicate with real humans but are great if you lock them in a room and tell them to write software to launch missiles at people etc. 2. The fat Slipknot T shirt hacker type who contribute nothing to society but are truly proud of their fantastic ability to hack into the Pentagon just cos they can. They have no Friends and smell. 3. Completely bonkers eccentric types who can communicate with humans but hate most of them and hate numbers 1 and 2 even more as they rely on them because they are the only ones who can program what they want but cannot be relied upon to deliver anything on time or in a working condition as they are nearly always drugged up and you cannot get hold of them ever during busines hours because they are nocturnal. Its a shite business to be in. I think I fall closely into category 3.

I think our helpdesk are nocturnal, you cant get the fuckers to answer the phone during working hours

My last "proper" job was Senior IT development Manager in a multinational franchise. I was never quite sure what all that meant. It was a great job though. Just used to hang around Stringfellows and Covent Garden getting pissed with clients and staff and living in the Hilton. Happy days.
