Well it's clear no one can imagine a company run by you.

To clarify the smart thing.

I was in a marketing class recently. There was a good five minute conversation about the meaning of the instruction:

"Design a questionnaire for the four internal stakeholders."

This confused several people and they couldn't understand whether it meant design four questionnaires or just one.

I piped up that it was just one because that was what it said... the conversation and confusion continued... and it was just hard for me to get inside the heads of people who couldn't understand that sentence.

Just replace the word ‘design’ with ‘reserve’, ‘questionnaire’ with ‘table’ and ‘internal stakeholders’ with ‘diners’. I think that would make the structure of the sentence quite clear to most people with a basic understanding of English.

I refer to the manual when stuck - For sum reason I just cannot remember my z tables.

IT is over move over come on lets go, it was a nice fad while it lasted, it's time to go back to pen & paper.

Where did that come from? The gf got 5 A Highers and a medical degree, every night I have to explain to her why the house does not get warmer quicker if you bang the thermostat up to 100.

Service Managers ... minimum IQ 85... mmm unfortunately neither assguru nor ivorbi can make it that high.... so they are not on that list, definitely.

It must hurt to have such a self-believed high IQ and yet be powerless and poor, buffeted by the vagaries of economic fortune.
