A New Old Pope

I woke up with the radio this morning and they were having a phone in competition. Phone in and if you can tell a funny joke you get free tickets to some comedy event.

A guy phones up and tells this Joke.

A Catholic Man Died and went to Hell, In Hell He Saw His Late Priest and he went over to him to complain bitterly. "What's Going on? How could this happen? You told me I'd Go To Heaven!!"

The Priest said, "Please keep Your voice down, or you'll wake The Pope!"

Now I may have paraphrased a bit because I did hear it early in the morning, but the essence is there. I couldn't believe somebody was able to go on air, in the most religious country in the world and say something quite so offensive, but what happened next surprised me more. The guy won the tickets...

My work on the Units calculation continues, I worked on my script for detecting problems with calculations to catch a few more errors and I'm now back at 89% success rate. I'm hoping to meet with somebody from our clients commercial department tomorrow to discuss how to best deal with these problems. There are quite a lot of Data Entry problems that I've looked into as well but they are easily outnumbered by the basic problem of us not collecting information on the number of workers for Commercial organisations. I hope we can resolve this quickly.

We only had one car on the road today and so I had to come back from our project office Early because The car I was in, a Toyota Land Cruiser had to be used to go on a site visit to a Chevron project we are just starting. I'm not involved in the Chevron side at the moment, and I don't see any need for me to be as it is just designing houses and basic village infrastructure and stuff.

Glad to see That They finally got a new Pope. Now perhaps the News Agencies can find some other news. It'd have been very interesting had the new pope been the Nigerian guy but I guess a German will do. Although at 78 it'll probably not be long till we do this all over again...
