I mean, obviously, an off-day for me is still better than an on-day for most people, but I just don't feel that into it.
I've made some big improvements to our quote template, so that's nice. Finished a few quotes and sent them off to customers. Fielded some telephone calls from cow-orkers who could have just read the web page for the thing they're asking about. Had elevenses (a piece of marmalade fruit cake) and then lunch (broccoli and Shropshire Blue quiche).
I have a tender I should be working on but it's silly. What they've said they want can't be done cheaply, but they've skewed the scoring matrix towards low cost solutions. I know the people we're up against won't understand the full implications of the specification so will come in much cheaper, so I've got to work out how to slag off their design without making it obvious I overheard their conversations at the site walkaround.
And my new Freesat box only has one working tuner, so that needs packing up to return tomorrow.
Bit bored really.
As you were.

I'll go and get the schematics drawn - that's always a good start.

I'm working from home. Every moment is an early escape.
For reference, don't ever have a scoring matrix which says "Price: 100%" and has no penalty clauses for the bidders not complying with the specification.
However, it's for energy per unit.. you have to be a registered supplier and you have to follow the government tariff guidelines..
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Got to be careful not to take too big a lunch and get the post-lunch snooze!
