Tomorrow I'm working from home so that I can let the plumber
into the house to do plumber things to the bath, without
having to sacrifice a holiday. In many respects it will be
much more efficient than working at work: less travel time;
less noise; no distractions (other than the plumber) and
better IT infrastructure. There are downsides, I'll miss
my colleagues and my work notebook isn't ergonomically
as good as my work desktop system - but over all it's
an acceptable arrangement.
I've even remembered to bring home some paperwork so I know
what I'm doing and my mobile is fully charged. The downside
is I've got some nasty SAP Forms to work on, which are awkward
at the best of times and some really evil Windows stuff to
do.
I know I said I was going to be positive, but I draw the
line at Windows APIs. It's as if somewhere in a Bond-Villain
bunker, Microsoft engineers devised the inner workings
of Windows to be as awkward, annoying, overly complex and
Byzantine as possible, as a game to amuse their Master.
Somewhere Bill is sitting with a white cat, laughing
melodramatically at all the poor souls unfortunate
enough to have to work with Windows...
