    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.

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

    Suicide because of your boss is highly unprofessional, unproductive and not very lucrative, especially when you could stay at home on full sick pay with a stress related illness and do some contracting on the side.
