I have a few things to do today and I am running a bit behind. My desk has piles of stuff on it, and lots of to-do lists… Hmm. Too much to do. Too little time. I have a PCB to design, some software to modify, some software to write, phone calls to receieve. All the normal sort of things.
So far today I have had about three phone calls, with the first just before 8:00 from a client telling me that he could not get to my server…. Which turned out to be on his end. Then there was a phone call from New Caledonia (and I asked… The weather has been horrible lately… Raining for months). This involved me telling the guy from New Caledonia what I knew of French Telecom – an organisation that makes Telstra look positively client focused.
Then another of the clients rang wanting to suggest some modifications to the software that I am writing for them. Not bad, but I thought I was finished weeks back on this… And then during the phone call to New Caledonia I got a phone call from a friend on my other phone wanting to know if it was OK to come over and get my help with windows programming… All in all a hectic day…
