Getting stuff done

rosa_heartlilyA year ago I was ranting about proper names, uncertain whether cancelling a meeting was a good thing, chatting with a colleague in the sunshine and saying hello to someone from church who was walking past, and mixing up my meals.
Today started with progress on my write up of my virtual pilgrimage. Of course, I spent most of the time fiddling with the layout :D
I tried booking Husband's podiatry appointment but they hadn't been released onto the system *heavy sigh* We'll try again tomorrow.
There was an email from Royal Mail saying my books were due to be delivered today but offered the chance to reschedule, so I asked for them to deliver it tomorrow. Later, I got an email saying they'd tried to deliver the parcel but got no answer - so would try again tomorrow...
Seriously - can't these organisations organise a simple process?
In the office, I managed to get my LM to read through my project proposal and submitted it ahead of schedule. Yay!
I also set up a template project plan, after LM and another colleague had spent most of the day tearing their hair out over synchronising a university plan with a third party plan. LM left early and exhausted, so I'll share it with them tomorrow.
We had a very nice chippy tea that everyone enjoyed - calling that a win, too.
Now I'm watching a Doctor Who story that I actually remember from when I was a child - Robots of Death. Yeah, no prizes for guessing who the killer is! The Doctor has just said something like, 'People are always creeped out by robots. The more robots the more they're afraid of them, but the more dependent they are on them.'. And here we are, handing over control of our lives to AI...
