Equilibrium!

Mine has been sorely tested this morning. So far I have had issues with the renewal of my driving licence and re-arranging my vehicle insurance, life used to be so simple and then along came the internet. The only issue in the past was making the time to get into a local office to speak , face to face, with an employed individual whose continued employment depended on his or her success with the customer. A world in which you got used to dealing with people and developed skills in efficiency, courtesy and diplomacy rather than hiding, faceless, behind a keyboard in some far flung corner of the country, if you’re lucky, or , if you’re unlucky, in some far flung corner of another continent. I swear to God I’d have had more luck if my current crop of contacts had been yak herders on the deepest, darkest plains of Tashkent. Add to that some individual nearby with a chainsaw who thinks said chainsaw is a handheld version of a MotoGP 500cc motorcycle and you can see how my morning is going so far. Coffee, coffee may be the answer to all my prayers, and maybe a digestive biscuit before I set off to battle the traffic to Dorchester, at least in the car I shall not have to contend with the chainsaw maniac.
