Happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] moonshayde! Hope it's full of sunshine and nice things!

I just tried to phone someone, but accidentally got through to Pinewood Studios instead.

...

So, yes. I guess they're in the phone book, but still. That was the exciting moment of my day.

We're enduring an IT migration at the moment. The end result should be wonderful, but so far I'm on the third iteration of my email address, and so no one can contact me, and I don't dare send out "This is my new address" emails, in the fear they'll be wrong. Plus, the auto-response I put on my old email is giving everyone the email address I thought I was going to get, and I can't stop it because I can no longer access that. Le sigh. Still, the end is in sight, and the new stuff is much better than the old stuff.

But if my co-worker doesn't stop going on and on every two minutes about how DIFFICULT it all is, how much she HATES the new system, and how she's HAVING A BAD DAY, blah blah blah, etc etc, I may beat her about the head with my lovely new keyboard. And then I'll go to prison, and that would be sad. But they're migrating the entire system. And it's Windows. What did she expect?

I like having the IT guys around, though - we've been talking about BBC computers with their cassettes and their 10 PRINT HELP I'M TRAPPED IN A COMPUTER FACTORY, 20 GOTO 10 (that's from memory, so may be wrong), and solid old Amstrads, etc. Ah, the old days... at the time, it all seemed so exciting. :)

I think I need to do some more screencapping of RDA-things-that-are-not-Stargate. Lots of MacGyver, for instance. In sloooo-ooo-ooow motion. It's a hard life. :)

Pinewood studios? Cool! :) I called buckingham Palace once! hehe. Remember that hoax text message going round a while back "Help, I'm in London and I can't get home. Please call this number and ask for Liz" or something like that. Actually got through to Buckingham Palace but by the time I did it they'd already got pissed off with the prank calls and had a recorded messgae saying if you were calling because of the text...well, they might just send out the SAS to hunt you down (or words to that effect). I hung up sharpish. Heh.

And yes, the RDA pics...a few of Mac/Ray/Captain Holland/Jack Rourke would be very much appreciated! :)

Hee! I didn't hear about that hoax text message. That's excellent. Ask for Liz. *g*
