rawneeAside from the usual frustrations, today was a bit of a mixed bag. We were on our third coffee of the morning and my 'phone rang. Totally and utterly normal but throwing your brew all over the 'phone is not. One dead 'phone later and one of the boss' 'for goodness sake' looks and I nicked his 'phone to use on my desk but I must have missed loads of calls cos the ringer was turned off! I thought it was a quiet day! Anyway, things got back to some semblance of normalcy and the conversation turned to tracking systems (as used in taxis) for our chauffeurs. One of them mentioned Google Latitude so we spent the last hour of work trying to work out how to get it installed on our 'phones. What a carry on. We were like a bunch of bloody n00bs! My son would have been ashamed of me. Anyway, I now have it on mine, said driver has it on his...but the boss can't install it on his. Sod's law! Thing is, he wants all the drivers to sign up for it cos it's free and will help us with any last minute jobs that come in. The drawbacks? Most of the drivers don't even know how to use email let along download and program their phones to use it which means it will be down to me to set them all up with Googlemail accounts and then sort out their phones! Oh the fun...when will it start?

Date: 2009-03-27 10:26 pm (UTC)Woman *collecting random foods from random shelves*
Husband *sighs* What are you doing?
Woman: Getting a variety, that is what she would eat in the wild!
Husband: and when have you ever seen a poodle in the WILD?
And I had to leave. Normally though its old ladies or chav brats ramming me with carts more then once in more then one aisle, girls going "erg, why are they staring?!" and their boyfriends going "uh, cause you are dressed like a whore?" and other classy things :P Our tesco is an adventure, and I have to go tomorrow :(

Date: 2009-03-27 11:53 pm (UTC)Yeah, I keep thinking of the book "When did wild poodles roam the earth and other imponderable questions" Ace stuff, answers all those weird questions people think about but no one wants to ask and no one has the answers too. Like what does a zoo do with an elephant when it dies, why don't penguins feet freeze, and so on :P
I hope I see her walking that poodle one day lol
