One of the problems with being out of the office as often as I am is that you become totally dependent on your technology. Well, yesterday mine let me down rather spectacularly, and I spent most of the day utterly paralysed and unable to accomplish anything.

We don’t have access to the internet at our client site, so we’ve bought a 3G router to log into our corporate network. And that works fine with everyone else’s PC, but throws mine into fits of spasm. So I spent most of yesterday in taxis, rushing across town for my IT department to fix my PC only to find that we can’t replicate the problem – it’s all down to the pesky 3G router. So IT would tell me the problem was fixed and I’d head back to the client, only for my PC to lock up again. Very frustrating. By 3pm, I’d given up the will to live. Armed with a pen, paper, and an abacus, I decided to tackle the problem the old-fashioned way.

In other news, I managed to send all of the wedding paperwork to France yesterday. Fingers crossed that our offering to the Gods of Bureaucracy is acceptable in their eyes. Watch this space.
