Find me a horoscope for Libra that says today is a bad day for communication, and I'll .. well, there wouldn't be a lot of point me spreading the word, would there? Not today.

1. Plymouth Social Services (on whom I finally gave up in disgust after 30 minutes on hold) fail to recognise a problem with their crossing out my figures and putting in their own.
"Well, we corrected them."
"If you know the correct values, and I don't, why are you asking me? Can't you just fill in the form on my father's behalf?"
"It's up to you to provide the figures."
"I did. You changed them."
"They were wrong."

2. Text messages sent to four people today. One has left her phone at home: one has forgotten to charge his phone: one has sent a reply that has nothing whatsoever to do with the question: one is AWOL. (For bonus points: guess which one is my sister.)

3. Microsoft FrontRage 2000 [this is not a typo]. Have reinstalled twice and it still crashes every single time I save a fairly basic stylesheet. I don't think XP likes it. (Downloading CoffeeCup stylesheet thingy to see if it's any better: otherwise shall stick to Notepad.)

4. There are, amazingly, still people in the world who don't know that I can't get at my email on the average working day. Luckily this is not an average working day, as I took the afternoon off to write monthly news column. (Yes, of course that's why I'm updating LJ.)
