Another Night Learning Emergency Assistance's New Procedures.

John asked me if I could do EA tonight by myself and if so could I go and assist the evening EA team at the start of the shift. I had to say, that in all honesty, I wasn't happy to do that. I felt we had had too few jobs the previous time i sat in on EA for me to be confident that I could handle any eventualities.

I JUST DIDN'T FEEL READY!



So I'm shadowing Julie tonight and luckily it's quite busy so this should be the last time I need assistance. Tonight has confirmed my initial impressions that the new system could do with some revision. For example, if an engineer does not call us back to close down a job then you often have to change the job type in order to close it.

WHILST LOOKING FOR THE ABOVE IMAGE I FOUND ONE THAT I HAVE TO INCLUDE HERE, THEREFORE FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER :



Good isn't it?

More phone choices

In a previous post I listed the phones I'm trying to choose between, when my contract comes up for renewal, only to find Sandra Vogal of Trusted Reviews giving an across the board 9 to a new LG phone I've never heard of. The odd thing is, that when you read the actual review, she doesn't seem to wax sufficiently lyrical to justify the marks she's given!

It's certainly a very pretty phone!

Still haven't finished listening to this weeks Economist and as a result I'm building up a bigger and bigger backlog of podcasts. Whichever phone I choose, one of the most important things influencing my final decision will be the amount of long term memory it has and whether this is expandable (N97 has big edge at present-32Gigs built in with potential to add another 32 via High Density card). The 8 Gigs on my N95 are virtually used up. If I want to add addition material and leave sufficient space to take pics and vids I'm having to delete content I've not yet listened too. If the memory is big enough I'll be carrying a mobile library in my pocket, I've got dozens of video's nearly a hundred audio books, hundreds of podcasts, hundreds of pdf books and EVERY episode of Radio 4's "In Our Time" from 2003 to date - Hurray - (Melvyn I love you and I want to breathlessly bear beautiful brainy bouncing bonnie babies by you).

All of the above, and much much more, will be lovingly stored in the memory ready for my delectation and also availble for anyone else who has blue tooth and space.

The large screen size will mean that reading long documents and even complete books will not just be practicable but also "well" enjoyable.

ALL WE NEED NOW IS AN EVER LASTING



(RATHER THAN EVER READY) BATTERY SO WE CAN BE:

EVER BROWSING

EVER READING,

EVER LISTENING

AND EVER WATCHING!

Very very very occasionally we'll also use it to make phone calls and send texts!

All the systems normally come back on line at approx 6am. Not today, oh no, IT decided, blessed be their mega brains and limitless wisdom, to run and install some new updates at about this time. Hurray, as the day begins to get really busy and engineers begin to expect to see jobs appearing upon their terminals WE CAN"T DO/USE ANYTHING, you couldn't make it up, no really you couldn't!!!!

It's a shame he braked in time really. If a person is going to be that stupid the very least they could do is remove themselves from the gene pool, even if they're only ever paddled in the the shallow end.
