Postal strikes

The recent series of postal strikes has completely thrown my personal complaints and worry system into disarray.

I have been waiting for a book order from Lulu.com for a while now and also a CD from Play.com. With a couple of postal strikes sat squarely across the period these items have been in transit, I have lost all sense of whether they are late or not. I do not know whether or not I should be grumbling or whether I should remain patient. Probably the latter for now, but I have absolutely no feel for when I should start grumbling, or indeed, who to.

Warm in here...

Well you can tell it’s October in the civil service.

Every year on 1 October, regardless of actual temperatures, the heating ism turned on. It stays turned on until 31 March when, regardless of actual temperatures, it is switched off. Given that the weather is really quite mild at the moment (albeit rainy), the temperatures in the office are a bit of a trial.

This is all the stranger given that we have air conditioning; I would normally assume that the air conditioning would be set to maintain a particular temperature day in, day out, responding automatically to the weather. It feels as though someone has set the ambient temperature a few degrees higher than it should be.

I have a meeting this afternoon. This does not bode well for may ability to stay awake.
