Is your boss a "drug dealer"?

I refer to my blog of 21 August 2006 - which referred to my addiction to my "crackberry". Well, yesterday - was this a coincidence or not? - I recieved an email advising me that they ("the company") were to provide me with a more powerful version, that would be easier to use (and therefore get hooked on!!).

If crackberries are drugs/addictive such an approach is merely trying to feed my habit in order to keep me addicted! This makes my employer the equivalent of a drug dealer. What next will they try. Human trafficking? Illegal gambling dens? Who knows?

However, from an alternative perspective, being a bit of a GOSSIP (see previous blog - "Return of the Acronyms!") the new crackberry model 8700v sounds quite "cool".

For some reason today, I agreed to "open" a workshop held at our training site near St. Albans. My "opening" lasted fifteen minutes and I had a 3 hour round trip on the notorious M25. Was this a valuable use of my time? Do I ask pointless questions? No & Yes (please place previous answers in the relevant order).
