Customers are a pain in the ass

I know that you can't have a business without any customers cos they kinda pay the wages and all that crap but they really can be a pain in the ass sometimes. I've spent most of the day having to deal with customers either via email or on the phone that all want the moon on a stick and all want it yesterday. They don't seem to have any concept of the fact that I can't just drop everything and do what they want straight away cos thatt would piss other customers off and at some point they are the "other customer". Damn them! Damn them all!

Me and Deb were talking about setting up a blog for Koopa today. We decided it would be quite funny if a dog had a blog. Wonder if its been done?

United are the picture box tonight against Charlton. Suf is coming round but dunno about anyone else. Come on you reds!

Relaxing weekend

I have not done a single bit of work this weekend and I feel better for it. I got a bad sore throat and cough last week and decided that if I didn't take a bit of a break I'd get worse. I've still got the cough but the sore thought is now gone. Having a bit of time to chill out has felt good!

I'm currently listening to music on a website called pandora.com. You but in an artist or a song name that you like and it creates a kind of radio station based around that type of music. It seems pretty good.

United got off to a flyer today beating Fulham 5 - 1. Can't ask for more other than the fact that Chelsea are currently beating City 2 - 0.

Still busy but it should get better

I am still really busy with work and haven't had much time for doing much outside of work such as writing my blog ;-) However, Stu starts today and hopefully that will start making the time I have to spend on support go down a little. Also, Ste who works at the other building and used to help out on websites, is hopefully being drafted in to work with Stu but also to do custom dashboard websites for customers thus leaving me more time to spend writing core products.

I currently hate the BT Broadband Bussiness Technical Support Team. Last weekend my broadband dropped to about 0.25MB instead of being around 3MB and I have now spoken to 7 different people who have all said something different. I must have spent about 3 and a half hours on the phone to them since Wednesday and I don't feel like I've got anywhere. Some of them say there is no problem and others say there is. An engineer is actually coming out on Tuesday to plug his modem and laptop into our line to see it for himself. We'll see what happens!

Right, back to the grind :-(

Listening to: Gomez - Bring It On
Back: Ok

Still sooo busy

I am still soooo busy with work. Its really starting to get on my tits. Also, I had a massive argument with JS about moving our system to 3rd party hosting and he was going on about all this bullshit to do with planning meaning it would never get done. Now though the big boss man has stepped in and it making it get sorted which should make my life a bit easier.

I haven't had much time to start using my new phone properly yet (other than as a phone). As soon as I stop working 50-60 hour weeks I'm gonna sort it out.

I'm finishing early tonight cos United are on against Porto in the Amsterdam tournament. I'm going to go get a Chinese for me and Stu now, pick Stu up, get back here and then relax for the evening. I'll be back working tomorrow morning though :-(

Listening to: Nothing
Back: Sore after hydrotherapy this morning
