[RANT]And from cold to the the tropical... my office is within an office, so although it has windows, they don't open and only look into another office - which also has no windows (it's so healthy!)...because of this my office is always pretty warm - even in the depths of winter, it can be a happy 20 degrees C in here without having any heating on.

Fortunately or unfortunately, we have no fixed heating, only a portable heater. The lady with whom I share my office however, is always cold (yet still wears only one layer - usually a thin, but long sleeved, top), so frequently when I come in (we work different fixed hours and she starts before me), she already has the heater on. This morning when I arrived it was 25 degrees in here, yet she was still cold and I must not turn the heater off or she'll freeze. It took until the room was 28.5 degrees before she agreed it was warm enough and agreed to turn the heater off! Even now, it's only cooled down to 26 degrees!

I'm melting and my head hurts. The feeling faint, light headedness and blurred vision is beginning to subside though.

28.5 degrees...who the hell HEATS a room UP to that temperature?!![/RANT]

.... that's your problem right there.

Aren't most things not compatible with vista?

daveake · 12 Feb 2009, 15:18

Yes, including PCs and trying to do anything productive.

daveake · 12 Feb 2009, 17:22

So, maybe global warming is true ...

Greater Manchester Area and hell: could there be a link?

Might have to have a rethink about the laser eye surgery...my dad, being the accountant he is, spotted an ad for a set of companies going into examinership...and optilase was one of them, now what may happen is the examiner in charge may stave off their creditors but just wait...

it hadn't hit me at first when they left me a message to say confirming the pre op on monday, meeting with surgeon and just to let you know you will have to pay the full amount...which is different to what i signed cause i was told pay €200 when meeting the surgeon with the remainder, €2100, to be paid on or before the day of the surgery.

So now i think of it, it sounds dodgy and as they may not be in business by the time the operation is supposed to roll around on march 1st, i think i will cancel

The snow coming down made my mind up....If it's any consolation I'm at home but working on a NHS tender for a three year contract.

good luck, but the NHS is probably very tender right now!

Probably a safer bet than private eye surgery clinics ....
