A week ago I was skiing, and while on holiday had many more then the normal complement of phone calls on the mobile. I shudder the think of the bill! No sooner do I leave my desk than there is something highly technical that I ought to be doing right now! A far cry form a few years back when there was a period of having too little work.
The net result was that the week I hoped to use for catching up on what I didn't do while on holiday had two consecutive days meeting with customers in widely separated places. There was a lot of work to do at the company in Norfolk and, what with the danger of ice on the road I got home at 2 am. Then there was the long dental appointment at 10am (25 minutes drive on dry roads, but the snow made it more like an hour - I was late but there were many canceled appointments) (YAY, only one more, relatively short, dental procedure to go!) then a meeting with someone who wants me to design a 500W 25kV AC power supply. After all that I felt as if switched off at the mains and managed no more work today, despite the fact that there are urgent tasks for me to do.
If anyone has a time machine or time turner they could lend me - or who knows where I can get a more durable body to live in (something that doesn't need rest) please tell me.
