Spent last 2 days reading the co intranet, then reading it again, and then again. At least I am getting paid for the pleasure of doing so.

    Should all be falling into place tomorrow however...Anyone want to place any bets ?

    Ask someone to print you out some project documents. Tomorrow ? no chance.

    My experience, they are either ready for you on day one, or it's a couple of weeks.

    Good to see things have turned the corner in the asparagus-picking market then.
