Am taking a fast five minutes break between my massive mountain of meetings. These meetings mean more and more of my precious minutes are massacred by the meaningless minutiae that most members of the bank think are of momentous import.
Welcome to management.
I've managed 2 hours of real work today. And that was only because I couldn't sleep this morning and so came in early. However in a strange twist of fate I had a couple of the most productive hours of work for a long time. I'm even beginning to think I might be able to meet this deadline. Not of course that it is my first deadline for this piece of work. Don't be silly. An IT project isn't a real IT project unless it's slipped at least once.
Am staying in a palace. The New York Palace to be exact. Properly swanky.
