A Good Start (pt. 2)

Oh, and just to top things off…

• The animals were a pain in the arse this morning. I’m seriously considering using aversion therapy on them – i.e. cause them pain, so they stop doing the things that are truly annoying. I won’t, but dear God it’s tempting…
• Getting in to work early in order to get stuff done (and because I was awake an hour earlier than expected, due to the previous list item) it turned out that the entire IT department had no power. (There’d been a power cut at some ungodly hour this morning, and while most things were OK – including the server room- a couple of departments were knackered ’til people got in)
• The power was finally restored an hour later, by dint of having unplugged everything in the department, re-flicked the circuit breaker, and restoring everything desk by desk.
• We’re doing the mortgage application thing this afternoon/evening.

So yes, so far today is not going down as one of the better ones…
