        My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

          You don’t need one.
          Don't kid yourself. If you end up going to that meeting you definitely have a boss.

                      I got out! I delegated a minion to take over for the afternoon!

                      I watched second half of Toulouse v Quins on the laptop, which was nice, and wrote down some of the buzzwords I heard;

                      - benchmarking
                      - KPI
                      - Touch base
                      - Keep focused

                      All in all a bit of a weak harvest, but nevertheless progress toward my goal of winning today’s bulltulip bingo competition.
