The Devil you don’t know

Monday, August 10th, 2009

I wrote the other day about what happens when Life overtakes you.  Today, is the other half of that story.

We were able to reformat the blog, but I learnt a bit more about the ‘back end’ and now know what bit needs protecting during updates.  I called the Revenue and got to speak to someone helpful who explained there could be no penalties if you didn’t owe them anything, so I just need to write in and explain what had happened and the systems would be overridden.  So today I’m feeling much happier. 

However, this little walk on the ‘wild side’ reminded me how bad it feels it be powerless and uninformed.  I probably have a worse reaction to this than most but it certainly never brings out the best in folks.  That is why communication is such a big deal these days, however, for all the money spent in this area, it is seldom done very well.  I have yet to work with any team that feels its needs are fully met in this area.

Today would be a the very best day to let someone know exactly how you feel, where they stand and help them feel more powerful, because knowledge is power!
