I'm a tad annoyed.
Tomorrow is our comapany's quarterly membership meeting, a gathering of 100+ geeks. One of my jobs at this two day event is to make sure all the PowerPoint slides from the presenters (10 staff and 9 external) have been received and uploaded to the website. This is done in such a way as that appear automatically for download publicly the moment the presenter begins his talk.
As it stands I have half of these presentations with the majority of the missing being staff ones. What's more, I'm having to correct some graphic errors in a couple of those staff presentations. It wouldn't be so bad if those staff told me when I can expect the files so I just have to wait for them to pull their fingers out.
What's more, since I now have a new laptop it would appear that the system for uploading the presentations isn't installed properly so I may have to go into the office and do the work there. The alternative is hope I can get sorted out tomorrow morning before the event starts (which is 80 miles away in London) or try and get one of the IT guys to talk me through the problem today.
Goodbye cruel weekend...
