            Already done my BAU stuff up to 2013, exceeded my deliverables months ago and cleared their service improvement plans till the next millennium, counted the tiles on every wall, floor and ceiling in the building and learned the German and Norwegian phonetic alphabet (backwards)

            how am I going to carry on?
