A fairly forgetful day today. Mostly filling forms in for a funding
bid and wondering why people love macro filled excel files. Why use
macros to shuffle sheets around? Why use excel for a form? The joys of
corporate mandated windows use with an attitude of 'office is all you
need'. Weather is improving and some pretty sky to look at tonight.
There are lots of local elections tomorrow and I have somewhere
different to go and vote. The election is for the region mayor, police
person who seems to be a waste of money and local councillors. I have
not really seen the point in the police and crime commissioner. It is
a voted in political role to work with the police somehow. I have
noticed no changes other than some entertaining scandals where they
hire some cronies without due diligence and are surprised when caught
out. I am always dubious of someone who wants to be in politics. Just
seems an odd thing to want to do outside of helping people. I would
say it doesn't pay but the ever revolving door for former politicians
into banks, newspapers and various other nefarious businesses suggest
otherwise.
