Well that's 90 minutes I'll never get back! Why do we ever bother with department management meetings. The same things get said every time and nothing ever changes

Luc - I have one of those meetings this afternoon. But I know it will be a litany of complaints about things outside their (and my) control that they think if they jump up and down and shout loudly enough we'll change things:mad:

I think I'll drop in that I plan on taking a mix of annual & maternity leave from the end of March 2009 to January 2010 - that should rile them!

Bonjour monsieur.. sorry we seem to have abandoned you last night - I was slyly attacked by my last mouthful of wine and had to go to bed

Not a problem. Wine does that kind of thing to me too - hence I now stick to G&T (or pink gin)

Ahh you see the managers are allowed to have meetings with each other and then not tell us anything, it's just us plebs that aren't allowed in case we get to know anything.
