Listen on Sunday at 11am on BBC Radio Merseyside

And my day just gets better.

If you ever listen in to BBC Radio Merseyside, you'll perhaps know about Linda McDermott's late night live show which starts at 10pm. Myself, Christine Corscaden, Jo Lambe and Moureen Nolan have a girlie night in on the radio show with her on a Wednesday. It's pure therapy (for my part).

But we've been asked to give it up! Instead, we've been promoted to prime time at 11am on Sunday mornings. No more late nights on a Wednesday. And thank God it's radio, so if I look dog rough after a Saturday night out only those in the studio will see!

Listen in - you may get a mention!

Bighand round of applause for Outsourcing

It's been a great day! After weeks of blood, sweat and tears Document Direct is now compatible with Bighand's digital dictation system. "Uh?" I hear you say.

Bighand are one of the major suppliers of digital dictation systems in the country. In fact they have about 80% of the top law firms in the UK as customers. And boy, would I like to have just a few of those 80% of law firms as customers. But there was a problem. Bighand digital recordings are in a different format to my system and that meant that I couldn't play their sound files to transcribe them. My problem was I was trying to put a Betamax video tape into a VHS video player - square peg/round hole. Our systems were just not compatible.

So we invested in some serious software development and computer programming to make all of this work. Graham Pengelley of Mainline Consultants has been stress tested today (and his software too) and the results have been brilliant! We passed all of Bighand's tests and checks and we're now working with Bighand as one of their approved outsourcing partners. Woo hoo!

New Website-New Blog

I'm very guilty of not updating my blog. But I do have a good excuse. I've been working on our new website for Document Direct which also contains a blog.

I'll be focussing on getting some more typing work for our fantastic team so they can be kept busy and live their work-from-home dreams (pictured left).
