Sometimes, I get so pissed off with D. 3pm yesterday I left the office for a few days holiday, having told him twice last week of the plan.

If you're not talking about an Alpha
They're not listening

This is infuriatingly true.
"Friday?? But what about all the work we've got on?"
"It doesn't have to be done this week?"
"But there's loads of stuff. What if people ring and what things doing?"
"Tell them to call next week."
"But I wanted to get those mailers done this week so that I can start selling next week"
"Why next week. You were going to start selling at Easter?"
"I want to move things forward. i was in all weekend setting it up, doing costing and stuff"
"Why?"
"Why?? To get the project file started and all that. Y'know all –"
"Yes, but why over the weekend?"
"To get ahead. And I had nothing else to do..."

And therein lies the problem. He has nothing else to do and no life. Tends to be resentful of my balance and relative freedom.
Trouble is, he twists this round to blame me for lack of commitment.
And again we had the difference of opinion about things being the wrong way round.
We are sending out a mailer promoting ther room folders which shows a mock-ip of the front cover.
The front cover is crap and won't look anything like this. We haven't met or discussed the cover at all, and I'm down to design it anyway. SO why send out the mailer now, and not wait until we have designed the cover.
Work out time scales for the project when we are ready...
It really annoys me, and scares me a bit sometimes how different our expectations of the company are.

Apart from that, everythings grooveh. The bunk beds are proving a big hit! The kids dint even get up before 8 this morning, and have made a camp with the two friends who have been round today. We had 12 people here for lunch - all the food bought on Monday at Tesco is gone.
Homemade bread and soup for tea then. Yummy

Been out with Biscuit this afternoon checking out the first route for this year's St Denys Treasure Hunt. Third time I've done it, and this time going to take in the Windmill and one of the Country Parks. Always fun to do, but like evrything else worth doing, takes a lot of time and effort to work properly.

She's brought a ton of homework with her, so hopefully this evening I can have some time on the computer to work up a couple more interviews. There are still several I know I don't have, so need to get them from somewhere.
BUT I have found perhaps THREE new gigs!!
Seems Ultravox played Doncaster Zigzaggers(??) in 1977, a year before the better known and listed gig at Outlooks in August 78.
They are also among the bands listed at the 'Caravan' festival in Aug 77, in Oostende.
AND Black Phoenix has turned up a gig sometime 1977 in Singen, Germany that isn't listed anywhere else. No dates tho. I've PMd him for details.
