Bit difficult, Kaiser D; some telecom bods have taken over the bunker and are currently installing a new phone system and I don't know why.
My colleague in industrial espionage seems to think we need a new phone system every two years or so. I told him he's just a techno-junkie and would be better off buying a T350 and simply letting the luddites (of whom I'm the leader) get on with it.
So I've got the matchsticks out and am gibbering responses to people who might as well be talking suburban Cantonese.
The worst thing of all is that I've missed my Thursday night Madras. Now that is bad news.
Bollocks.
Fair dinkum. If your partner in running a business for profit (ie fellow criminal exploitationist scum) wants new telephone gadgets might I suggest in retort you now require either a pinball machine or an "Outrun" Arcade game for the office "morale".

My company sent me on a Time Management course. It was a bit evangelical in the way these American gurus tend to be, but it did have some very good ideas which boil down to:
1. Make a to do list first thing each day and prioritise the items.
2. Prioritise tasks according to urgency and importance. Do the things that are important AND urgent first.
3. Don't spend too long doing tasks that are urgent but not important at the expense of important things that aren't urgent.
4. Thou shalt have only 1 time management tool. It's easier to keep track of your tasks if they're all in the same place. Not spread over diaries, outlook pda's etc.

The urgent/important thing is right out of Covey's book (see my previous post). A very good read for management types and cheaper than a brainwash.. oops, I mean seminar
