More frustrations
My head might explode in a minute. Thinking about so many things, but not really able to do anything about them right now.
We need to sort out our life insurance stuff, which is more expensive because our new jobs don't have such good sick pay schemes, and GG is digging her heels in about it, but the broker woman keeps phoning me, and I really don't know what to say/do. I've heard nothing from the hospital about my hand appointment. I'm in the middle of switching bank accounts so everything is up in the air with that. Humph.
We spent last Saturday helping GG's brother with his new house. We started by ripping out the kitchen, which was going quite well until I managed to nick the main incoming water pipe removing the cupboard base (it must have been installed before the end of the pipe was put on because it was just too close to have been installed afterwards!), and then spent the next hour and a half holding the pipe pinched together waiting for the plumber. Everyone tried telling me it happens and many other people have done it, but it didn't make me feel any less stupid.
Anyway, the plumber came and sorted it (not cheaply but at least I've found him a plumber - he needed one for fitting the appliances and the bathroom!) and next on the list were the light fittings in the lounge....again, a small lack of knowledge became a big headache. I did eventually get the light back so that I left it in no worse state than when I arrived, but I wasted another 2 hours doing it! So, having cried on GG and then GG's mum, I felt properly stupid!! Cricket Sunday was a write off, and I'm completely knackered.
Can't seem to get into anything at work this week - still trying to come up with something for this intranet problem, but my boss still wants a quick fix rather than something that really works, so I'm stuck looking at this Drupal CMS that I don't like the interface of, and can't get it to do what I want...harrumph. Trouble is, my boss is out for most of the day so I kinda need something to show for my day when he comes back.
The real problem is that I'd rather be at my house working on some of our DIY projects, or at GG's bruv's working on his kitchen, or anywhere that doesn't involve work really!!! *sigh* Anyone got any ideas??

amillionpieces / Website (24.6.08 16:03) Yeah, I found drupal a bit long winded and annoying too. Joomla might do what you want - you could have your stuff behind logins and what not so it behaved like an intranet, and there are lots of extensions. It's quite a steep learning curve though, I think. |

GG / Website (24.6.08 16:13) We're using Expression Engine over here, and that seems to have lots of plug ins available. I haven't looked at drupal at all though, so I don't know how they compare. |

(24.6.08 16:22) I think it's probably the lack of interest I'm fighting most today! :-( |
