TGIF :-) PC and PC

Hello Friday peops,

Yes it’s TGI February… only 325 shopping days till Christmas….
I have to eat a bit of humble pie after my daily telephone calls to the Insurance Company to make my PC warranty real, I had a very nice engineer visit ….and give me new CD drive that works – YAY!! Plus a lesson in software – what it is and what it isn’t - it’s hard – well, not really it’s soft, but bit embarrassed not knowing the difference between software and hardware – doh! – his last bit of advice was that I still needed to wipe everything clean to make it work better – so I’ve dusted it down – but the damn thing is still slow?

Went on an E-bay training day last weekend – a proper E-bay educationalist educated me. I’ve bought loads but never sold anything y’see. He told us to start with something easy that we didn’t mind losing out on – so I’ve found some ad hoc antiques and decided to start with a ‘Paired item lot’ – to put in the 'Collectables' category ....took lots of photos from different angles – he said to check the ‘completed lists’ to see similar items that were successful and those which were not - to learn from the descriptions and photos and bottom asking price…..I spent hours writing the ad, “Mother and Father automatons – fully moving parts – bit stiff – very amusing to watch – BUY ONE GET ONE FREE” then bummer - found out you can’t sell live items on E-bay – so wondered if any of you TGIF crowd may be interested? To be honest, I’ve decided to hang on to them for now and try selling the Wedgwood ashtray instead…..

Work has been good – I know I don’t mention it often, but I actually managed to finish a job –YES - Honest – Scout’s honour…. only taken a year – which is good going cos some of the other projects have been ongoing since I started in 2004 – so I’m well chuffed. See…. The NHS CAN get things done (ish)!
So while I’ve been beavering away all week, I’ve been snarling about the occasional ‘funny’ e-mail that my work colleagues send through – I’m far too busy to be having fun y’see – wish I had the luxury of time to send funnies blah blah – however since this appeared to be a short one, I opened it – and smiled quietly at the irony of the non-PC content - since the originator had left their Firm’s footers at the bottom of the e-mail, proudly proclaiming “Law Firm of the Year Award 2008-09…..British Legal Awards” and even better… “Equality & Diversity, CSR Award 2008-09.. from the Law Society”… and the e-mail…..enjoy!

::: BREAKING NEWS :::

Run my little crazy friends, run!
Well, what can I say ???
