Today has been a day from hell. From the first pjhone call this morning until now its been a veritable nightmare. Thankfully FW and I managed to cheer each other up a little while ago. Its days like this when you really hate working away from home.

Due to today's trials I've decided that French, American, South African and Irish people are no longer on my list of nice people - well most French people weren't anyway, with some noticeable exceptions. Today proved to me that many French people are unreliable and arrogant; that many Americans are not as customer orientated as they like to appear - one responded to a request for a quote by asking: "Do you want us to give you a price for this?", 40 minutes later.

The South Africans just haven't responded for 48 hours. Sorry, I got that wrong. 1 South African replied to my e-mail by sending a blank message with her sign-off. As for the Irish, my most favoured people till today, they just kept agreeing to do things and then changing their mind after the things were put in place.

On top of that a post by Bimble led to a discussion on homosexuality in the church. This with an office full of non-churchgoers. You'd thing that people wouldn't look over your shoulder at what you're reading, especially as they don't work for my company. The upshot is that they can't understand why Christians tend to get upset over this issue. For my response see my comment on Bimble's entry.

Now I'm really looking forward to the weekend and working from home on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. The Troublesome Trucks' Sports Day on Tuesday is looking even more inviting every minute.
