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.

Don't kid yourself. If you end up going to that meeting you definitely have a boss.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostBoss? What is this thing of which you speak?
