    Basically cleared a months backlog that existed because the PM was too busy.

    Another 2 days of productivity before it's back to normal, I might take a half day before I have to start banging my head of a brick wall again

    You'd better have my desk nice and clean for when I get back on Friday.
    LOL - I wouldn't take a PM role, don't think my straight talking style would go down too well.
