Knackering Couple of Days

I feel knackered tonight, I have spent 2 days swapping 63 CRT monitors for LCDs in Darlington. Two days sounds like a long time but I had to carry all the CRTs to the attic on my own, along with all the LCD boxes and various stands and stuff. I got a little bit of help with putting the new ones out but still did the majority on my own.

I was there yesterday from 8am to 6pm then went to Durham to pick up my Job Appeal results (wish I hadn't bothered). Today I was there from before 8:30am until about 3:30pm when I finished. I had had enough by then so decided to go home, which no one could moan at because I'd had no break for 2 days (5 minute eating a sandwich on Wednesday). I was completely worn out anyway and wasn't much use.

I was fed up today anyway as previous post explains. It didn't help when I had staff complaining that the LCD screens were blurry, the reason we got rid of the last ones because we don't run them at their native resolution. I agreed they were and showed a couple of them the resolution they should be run at but neither wanted them that size. I said if they had problems to email the helpdesk for my attention and I would forward it to the relevant people.

I gave them 3 options, either how they were, the optimum resolution or their old monitor. There wasn't anything else I could do. The complaints were the last thing I needed but I agreed with them!
