Good Mood Day or Bad Mood Day?

[Dave Fisher]

I was in a really good mood driving into work this morning with the sun shining down and was making plans what to do today

Until I opened the post to find a customer has gone into administration who owes us £500.00

Is it a good mood or bad mood day for you and why?

[dave_finlayson]

Good Mood. Check for £400 quid in post this morning and I'm drinking tonight!

Good mood, only 2 emails this morning, i can go out and play now.

Generally good... but the odd frustration is trying very hard to prevent it!

3 Ps on my hitlist today
Protx, ParcelForce and Printers...all of which are conspiring against me!

[leehack]

I got a brand new colour laser printer unopened you can have at a good price bumpsy if you like.

Scrap PROTX for WP, there you go, 2 down already.

[TraceyHand]

I have a brand new laser printer tyvm
It's not that one that's challenging me! It's my "antique" HP all-in-one that isn't playing ball this morning LOL

Now...find me my missing parcel please, Lee

[leehack]

IT'S BEHIND YOU

[TraceyHand]

haha..funny
that's one of the other 20 I haven't got round to sorting yet

Maybe ParcelForce knows this and they're saving me the storage!

Mixed Mood Day
Bad - having to start looking for work after a long period with one client and finding the poor state of the contract market (anyone want a used Visual C++ coder?)
Good - contacted by a guy who is selling us a load of second-hand games to expand our personal collection (aka product research)

No psychotic option?

[TraceyHand]

lol...well my reply originally contained the word "schizophrenic" but I editted it before posting...

should we get committed together, G?

Try Actinic, you're not Hungarian are you though?
I know there is a few of us who would like a php guru who we can call upon as and when we needed, get learning Alan. I'd happily pay a tidy sum to just get what i want, when i want it. Javascript at times too.

Its a tempting thought. I considered moving into Actinic web design, but I'm not a designer and that seems to me to be important for good web design. I'm probably going to face a period out of work (not uncommon in the biz) which I would use for training. The decision I have to make is: do I
(a) expand my scant C# and .NET experience, or (b) move into web technologies?
Option (a) means staying in the contractor/agent rut, (b) means more freedom

BTW: I'm not Hungarian, but I do use Hungarian notation (programmer's joke).

just found out the customer who went into administration taking us for £500 has setup again (for the third time) with a slightly different trading name.

the administrators letter says
"representatives of the new company will be contacting you to discuss any potential future trading relationships with you"

if the cheeky b******s think I am dealing with them again they can get stuffed!

However, as they send carriers in to collect the pallets maybe I should send them a couple of pallets of boxes filled with bricks

That would just about sum me up today as well! So much going on both at work and outside that not sure which way to turn

Still get most of day off tomorrow - will spend around 2.5hrs in car getting to vets for an appointment and then 40mins later get to do the return journey.
