Hello!

Birds, hello trees!! I don't know why I have the urge to come over all Fotherington-Thomas. I'm trying out being a gurl. But I'm not quite sure that I like it.

Spent all day in the office for a change. Which is nice, but quite pressurising as, when you've been in the team the longest (like wot I have) people come and ask you questions. Come on, guys, what makes you think I know anything about the law. I'm only good at putting on a reasonable show of erudition. I find the nod and smile, accompanied by the occasional "ummm" works a treat here.

We had a team meeting this afternoon. The aim, well one of them, was to discuss a staff survey in which the staff (us) had displayed a considerable amount of reservation about the ability of management (them) to manage. Instead of accepting that, if 34% of people think that the place is badly managed that's something which they ought to be addressing, they give the problem right back to us. So not only do we have to identify the problem, but we have to solve the damn thing. I think that this may be symptomatic.

I am still reading Dune. But am enjoying it. Despite the fact that it is strange, and, I think, not the best sci fi ever written. Apologies if anyone reading this disagrees, but there you go; it's my blog, and I'll give my views if I want to.
