Although in full Bug mode again today, I managed to irritate fewer people because I was at a meeting this morning. It was basically the same as every other meeting I’ve been to, and you too, probably. Colleagues from work sat around a big table in a meeting room writing notes and asking questions, and I spaced out pretty completely. They might as well have been speaking a foreign language of which I had no knowledge.

In fact, it turned out they *were* speaking a foreign language of which I have no knowledge. But it made absolutely no difference! Try this at your next meeting: speak in tongues. Speak backwards like the dwarf on Twin Peaks. Report back to Feral Living.

Coming soon: handling snakes with colleagues and supervisors: do’s and don’t’s.
