beeeeep!
Had a bit of a drama at mine last night.
To explain, firstly: I live out in the middle of nowhere, nearest neighbour is about four hundred yards down the road and we're surounded by fields. Sometimes our nearest neighbour is the nearest cow to the house in the field behind us; sometimes it's the pile of pig shit in the field across the road; in winter it's either the snowdrift across the road or the driver of a car stuck in said drift.
In other words, middle of nowhere, nothing much happens.
Last night someone came off their motorbike just beside the house. They were okay, walking (well, staggering) around. For some reason, the guy's parents were there in their car. Had they been following him, or had he called them? No idea. Anyway, they knocked on the door because apparently there was a cow loose on one of the back roads. Not sure if that had anything to do with the bike going off. They wanted to know which farm might own said cow. I had no idea.
But now, we have a motorbike lodging in our garage, till they come to get it this evening. And the police came round to look at it too, all this at about eleven p.m.
It was bloody freezing!!
With regards to work, I'm currently waiting for the finance types in Andover to decide if they can afford me. Since the IT department is understaffed with the three contractors (including me) who are running it right now, knocking it down to two could be a disaster. They need more, not less.
Ah well. it'll be a holiday, of sorts. Except... I now seem to be in charge of figuring out how to use Sage. All I know is it's a very popular accounting program. I'm supposed to sit down and play with it to get it working properly. What fun.
