A Fresh Start

Although it seems that Twiggy’s expressed a desire to clone (in a scientific way rather than a desire to have my babies, I assure you … at least, I hope I do) I am currently engaged on a secret project to render myself obsolete by automating everything I do (that last bit hidden so Tall Andy doesn’t find out).

Project Skive (to give it its official title) has progressed well today, boosted by a tidbit of gossip overheard. Flash was telling Tall Andy that “the announcement about the new structure will be at twelve o’clock tomorrow”.

“Ooh!“, I chipped in. “Did someone say ‘VR‘?”

Apparently they didn’t.

Earlier on in the day Tall Andy and I had had one of our regular blether sessions (in which I used to whinge about all the work I had outstanding but, having dumped most of this on Leah, is now usually spent apologising for not having updated the work tracking database thingy with the little I’ve actually done myself.

Anyway, in today’s meeting I was given feedback about how helpful I’d been to someone - helpful enough that they’d written to Tall Andy and Twiggy (hence the cloning information earlier).

“As part of the new rewards scheme,” Andy told me, “there are a range of voucher rewards on offer.”

“iTunes?”

“No, it’s the usual selection.”

“Oh. They should have iTunes as an option. Most people in the team have an MP3 player, after all. You could suggest it.”

“No, you should suggest it and get the credit.”

Hang on, I thought to myself. Does this mean you can get a reward for suggesting enhancements to the rewards scheme? Does this strike anyone else as being a little odd?
