Okay, the Bad News first:
I contacted the SIA today about my licence renewal. They were meant to be phoning me back on Thursday afternoon before 17:00. I never heard anything from them. They were closed over the weekend (again showing that they do not understand the industry that they are working in). This morning I phoned them and they told me that they had tried to call me back, though I have not received a call and no missed calls were showing. Suspicious that, eh? Lying b@s+@rds!
The Good News?:
I did confirm with the SIA though that my second licence does cover me to work in the control room, so my manager has confirmed that I can go to work tomorrow. I was half hoping that I wouldn't be able to so that I could get more time off work, but I need the money so I have to convince myself that this IS good news! :-)
The second piece of good news today was that, in response to my blog entry "Word!" yesterday, a lovely man by the name of Barry has informed me that Open Office documents can be saved in different formats so that should enable me to get around the uncompatable nature of the program. Problem solved. Thanks Barry. (I still want to get another laptop / PC though!)
Aren't good and bad news meant to come in threes? I'm waiting for the third one now. Premium Bonds people, are you listening?
