How are you today?

I'm feeling particularly "meh..." today. Is that even an emotion? If not, it is certainly an accurate onomatopoetic representation of how I feel.

Basically, I'm running a community conference. The guy that is supposed to be getting the sponsors in hasn't. As far as I can see, not a single one. The catering bill alone is going to be over £2K. He also missed the submission deadline for putting his talk in for consideration (he was at the committee meeting to decide the deadline!). The sessions are (and have always been) decided by public vote, yet I got an email asking how the sessions were chosen.

I'm sure he's just overworked and hasn't got the time. The conference organisation is volunrary and unpaid. But, I'd really rather he said that he didn't have the time than volunteer for tasks then not do them.

Sorry - Just had to vent a little.

In other news, my mobile phone contract expires today so I'm off to look at new phones. (My existing phone requires a little coaxing when it needs charged up - The connector doesn't work so well these days)
