Today was supposed to be mostly free. The mail-server hassles were supposed to be fixed up last night, a brief meeting with my 'boss' scheduled for this morning so I could configure her computer.
Most of the rest of the day I planned to have to myself, to deal with the post-session admin from last night's game, wash the car, chiil out and maybe do another set of photos.
A presentation I've been invited to attend this evening. More a networking opportunity than anything else, from my perspective.

An hour fixing up some problems on my 'bosses' computer. Plenty left - two hour session scheduled for Monday.
~~~
Achieved paying the insurance bill. Attempted to shout myself a nice lunch. Prices have gone up, serving size has gone down. The food was still good, but I found it not worth the money. Another small pleasure lost.

Mail server hassles not fixed. We can't even isolate a cause. It's -probably- a quirk of a setting somewhere in outlook (no-one not using outlook has reported a problem - yet). But some people using outlook are fine. It -could- be related to port 25 filtering by the big ISPs - except some people with each are fine.
My system of course has no problems. I can even create functional outlook accounts for the people who are having problems on their systems. Support is stumped and have become unhelpful.
I have spent most of the afternoon dealing with one computer hassle or another. And I'm not really even getting paid for it.
