Gaah. Time zones should be abolished.

Yesterday I was kept at work rather later than usual due to a conference call with people in the USA, which started at 4pm (our time) because we had to wait until they were all up, and then dragged on for hours. Today I get in and read my mail, and find that people are planning a conference call to Japan discussing matters in my area of expertise starting rather earlier in the morning (our time) than I'd like. Nobody has yet requested that I get up early to be part of this, but I have a nasty suspicion it's only a matter of time. (No pun intended.)

Yesterday's conference call irritated me particularly because I'd already got up extra early in the morning to go to the doctor before work. As it turned out the doctor took one look at my back and said ‘you need an osteopath, here's the name of a good one’ and that was it. For this I got up early… *sigh*

which osteopath was that recommendation for ? i'm still feeling very pissed off with the osteopath i went to, as i still have a dead leg two weeks on ...

(and doctors are meant to give you two or three names, as they're not supposed to outright recommend a private practitioner or something).

Really? I didn't know that. He said he'd recommended this particular osteopath to so many people that he'd run out of their business cards, so he had to just give me the name and tell me to Google :-)

The one he recommended was John Lant.

yeees. thought it would be. beware ! (you'll probably be ok if you get him himself, i'd guess; and i know that one of the others there is supposed to be ok, but the one i am going to i neither trust nor like :-/)

Merp, bad back?

Only a bit. Had the odd twinge since about December, but it got noticeably worse after I moved house (presumably all the heavy lifting, despite getting removal men to do the vast bulk of it).

I'm going to get the occupational health nurse at ARM to come and give me a reassessment, make sure I haven't slipped into bad habits since my last assessment. If that doesn't help I might give the osteopath a try.
