Yo ho hum.
Friday, December 19th, 2003 01:20 pmWell we got the annual determination issued yesterday. Just. It was a huge e-mailing with 12 attachments and gave the councils all the information they needed to set their housing budgets for the forthcoming financial year. Subsidy budgets amounting to around £3,500,000,000 for England.
People were writing in amendments right up to the wire and my blood pressure topped out at Stromboli Red.
Today I get in for what is my final day in the office until January, to find an e-mail awaiting me. I don't think it was meant for external consumption, insofar as the author, responding to one of his colleagues, sent it to me by mistake.
"These guys are taking the piss", he wrote. Of course, we weren't and I e-mailed him back to tell him that we were glad to be of service.
I may have been a bit hasty.
In a bungle which would have my head on the block if I'd made it, but seems to leave the actual perpetrators unscathed, we have to reissue the various schedules.
I'm not taking the piss; but someone at a higher grade is.
