Have you requested the PM creates a new P.P. to reflect the delay?

My "manager" on site, remember I'm not IT, is fully aware of the situation.... as is his manager, the site director, as is his, the MD....

As I'm there performing "legal requirement" type stuff, i.e. it must be done and there's no one else on site capable of doing it (which is why they're in such a deep hole with the "legals") I'm feeling pretty secure

In the end, they said I could go home early, booking for the day of course....

"Having a good day at work"

NO

'Messed' up my server first thing this morning. I've spend all day putting it right.

I did cure another problem at the same time though, but considering it was me not thinking when mucking about that caused it, I don't think it really counts as a positive.

My day's been pretty good too. Met an old friend for lunch, had a wander around the park now back at my desk and working on my "vanity project"

I'm having a good day at work today, too.

Mind you, I left two hours ago having billed for a complete day.
