The Scream

News goes at last. Still having a few problems on that score. Begins a day of bitching around with computers, screaming at screens that go unexpectedly blank. Have trouble exporting a MARC file that I want to import to save me some sort of effort. On the plus side I deal with a few ILL related queries.

Payroll call, they wanna sort Helen's post on the ESR which 'is the World Class, national, integrated Human Resources (HR) and Payroll system which will be used by all 600+ NHS organisations throughout England and Wales' apparently and is the successor to Delphi, a system we can live happily without. Naturally though, we are doing our very best to fuck it up of course. Not all posts that existed on Delphi have been transfered to ESR, so if a post was vacant at the time of transfer it has been lost. Not that they told us this. So it means that the post that Helen is due to start in on the 2nd currently doesn't exist and will need to be created. Is the person that can send me the correct forms in today, no, have they rolled out effective ESR training, no so when I get the form they will have to talk me through filling it in. This is important because without she won't get paid.

Chomp the last of the Goose soup for lunch. Good stuff.

New Blogger marginally irritates me with a 200 character limit on its labels. Suspect though that is because I'm turning into a sad old cataloguer.
