Have the office eating out of my hand because I am so 1ee7. Hearing things like "I don't know how we'd have got through this week without you" is so much The Best. I've resolved to learn the Sage query language and how to write Sage macros to stun them even further.
Alas I also now have the office upper respiratory tract infection. Three days in bed coughing, sweating and shivering haven't been fun. I'm getting better now, though.
Many many apologies to all of you to whom I owe mail and stuff. I just haven't had time and/or energy. I'll try to catch up over the weekend.
Mum's operation went perfectly. She's had virtually no post-operative pain, and almost enjoyed her hospital stay. She came home late this afternoon. She sends her thanks to everyone who sent her good thoughts, prayers and so on. The only bit of it she's not looking forward to is her visit from the physiotherapist tomorrow :)
