A Moment's passing

Soemtimes its good to be pessimistic - days can then have a habit of being much better than expected.

The QE2 Terminal embarkation corridors look great - 23 poster frames fitted up and labelled. Some of them even have a spcae holder in them.
Wonderful views across the water while drilling them in - and we had finished by just after 1pm. Did a load of deliveries then, and I once agin realized how much I love my job. There are difficulties getting on with D now and then, and we often don't understand one another, but working together and sharing ideas is one of the things that really does seem to work.
The Cruise Terminals is an inspired idea, and little wonder then than we have a number of media buying agencies interested.

Delivering maps and Pocket Guides too is such a good feeling.
A product that I conceived 6 or 8 years ago. Began to field walk the city when Flo was a baby at home and I was working freelance.
Researched the map, designed it, drew it, published it and now deliver it to stockists and even now and then fill up POS on the shop counters. Sells around 250 copies a month, which is never going to earn me a million, but its an encouraging level of sales and has been slowly picking up over the last three editions.
Conference Guide and Room Folders in the next month or two, new Forest map (also third edition) not to mention all the contract work.

D has denied anyhting to do with being on my computer yesterday evening. Apparently his laptop 'does that too sometimes'. Mysteriously empties the cache and clears the browser histroy? Funny that...
I didn't bother to argue. The mouse being reconnected for a left-hnaded person really told me all I needed to know anyway. Makes the whole issue difficult to deal with though now its kind of over.

Out this evening helping to set up the Fete. garage full of leaflets, racking and notices, bunting and tables.
Pray for the weather to continue

My candle burns

It's a ridiculous time to still be sitting in the office working!
Ian's job for Thomas Cook came back this morning and I seem to have made a complete pig's ear of it!! This doesn't happen often, but I have misread the instructions and missed out half of the work.
But he's here to, helping me sort it out. We have done about four hours work EACH but coming to the end now.

A problem I have to face tomorrow tho is D somehow fiddling with the machine again.
I left at 5ish, and by the time I got in at 8 and the office was empty I noticed tat my Internet history had been cleared??? REALLY maddening, given that I was sourcing aerial photos and had loads of other bits and pieces going on.
And a different homepage???? What makes it worse is that there is already an account set up for visitors to the fekkin machine, but he chose instead to log in as me!
And then none of the fonts were working and the 'recent items' folder shows various wmv movies that I couldn't open because the original files were missing.
I am seriously cross about this. It makes me feel I can't trust him and that's scary when we have to work together...

Not looking forward to tomorrow now - a whole day at the cruise terminals drilling walls to put up picture frames. Into glass fibre. Nice...

The garden fence has gone. Mister Builder Man is working hard, fast and clean. We pray everyday that the money will come thru and as a last resort have arranged to borrow.
It WILL be OK. have faith.
Very exciting at last to think we might be able to sort the garden.

BIG BAD night yesterday too, one of our worst for ages.
I had Those Thoughts again, and my mind turned to sex. Messed me up for the whole night. I am trying, but it is very hard at times to keep a lid on things.
Ironically, we both wanted the same thing and neither knew how or what to say or do about it. Ended up blaming each other for not saying or doing anything and made the whole silly situation worse. Its gone now. back in the box for a wekk or so I hope.

Random email today from CB. been missing each other as I haven't done cell or church for a couple of weeks and she's been going to an earlier service to 'avoid people'. Arranged to meet for lunch one day next week which will be great.
After the fete.
I'm actually looking forward to that.
Always works for me...
