Back in the hot seat

Back office today, and it's a Monday. Don't really need to say more than that. *wry* Although I will add that I hate [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], James Squire Amber Ale and the band at the Elephant and Wheelbarrow on Sundays in equal amounts right now. Surpassed only by my hate for the IT people who seem to think Monday morning is a great time to fuck with our computers and make it impossible to print anything.

Oh, lots of fun today. Bah.

However, I did pass on the Whitlams love last night with the compilation CDs I made for Matt and Paul. With any luck they'll grab a couple more for their shows, although yes, Phil did point out they are a cover band and need to think of their audience and play things they know. Still, I think they'll like it. Hope they do, any way.

D-E-D

Gah, talk about your helldays...

Mondays are busy in the back office. It's practically guaranteed. No autopsies etc are done over the weekend unless they're homicides and the like, so Monday's are basically the catch up day. And everyone wants things scheduled yesterday. The phones ring incessantly, you're running around like a mad thing, and you barely get a moment to breathe.

So, you get the picture.

Now add to that IT finally installing the new computers. Yes, I know I've been complaining about the pieces of crap in the back office for a while, and don't get me wrong, new computers is a good thing. However, the process of installing them involves large amounts of downtime, and that is not what we needed today. Especially when I didn't have access to the Coroner's program for three hours this afternoon. At one point we were down to one computer we could actually use for enquiries, data entry of the important sort, admissions and releases. And the phones just kept on ringing regardless.

It's really sad when you volunteer to do identifications because those don't need a computer... I did four today.

No wonder I feel dead right now. I have a log to write for a plot going up on the 23rd, and I've got nothing.

Night shift tomorrow and Wednesday, so yeah, don't expect me around at all Thursday.
