    Yes, I'm having one of those days.
    2 out of 4 app servers now working.

    I have to say, I'm still having one of those days...

    You used to be able to park on the road up to the DLI for free if you got there early enough but I see they stopped that as well.

    Love 'em, but they can be a pain when walking on cobbles! I am only 5"1 so need all the help I can get frankly.

    Ruprect asked : I hate to ask...but what else did you have to wear?
    A feather boa, and a sheepish grin.



    Plus a bra for my moobs (wasn't a bad fit actually), a camisserole thingie, and fishnets.

    All photographic evidence has been destroyed.

    I was most disappointed...I thought all that clobber was meant to make you feel sexy. Didn't do "anything" for me, however.

    Yes SA, I have days like that all the time.

    Example being last week - drove to Stafford train station at 5am, about to step onto the train and realised I'd left my laptop at home. Had get through meeting without any of the required information, then finally managed to leave.

    On walking out of (busy, large, v corporate) building, stiletto heel gets stuck in matting and I stumble headfirst towards the security desk - leaving shoe behind.

    Grit your teeth and remember, tomorrow's got to be better!
