Whinge! Moan! Suppliers eh!

IP range, we've never got that one sorted, suppliers get baffled by it when you try and explain the current situation and then you bring up the notion of Athens which is followed by a whimper at the other end of the line! Not helped by the fact the product I'm dealing with is a freebie to GPs and perish the thought that there are any other types of user in primary care that would have an interest in Guidelines. Still I pass them into the tender loving care of Ingrid. They call back later and though they haven't spoken to Ingrid they have to Athens and are getting cost details.

Meanwhile Binley's call, Nigel's moved on, we missed the geezer who took his place and now have a new fella who seems pleasant and reminds me that the licence is due for renewal next month.

Net is unnacountably slow today from here, much swearing at the thing, not what you need on a Monday morning/afternoon. Day is filled with confusing and unclear FoI requests (I ask for clarification to make sense of it) and the odd other bit and piece. New version of Feedreader to play with.

Home calls, Margaret (Monst's Aunt) has been dragged to hospital. Not sounding too good, Monst is worried but her hands are tied by her impending trip to India and the need to be at work. All rather too reminiscent of her Dad. Poor Kitty is on the frontline of this one.

Home via Pizza Hut at Cal's request, fetch food for Monst from the No Mercy's 'Simply Food' (which also sells tights, flowers, cards and newspapers and I ain't about to eat them!) Eat, and drag Monst to work. Home, Blog, Cal baths.
