A wise (or possibly stoned) man once described life as "a thin line of light within two enormous black rocks". Or something like that. Anyway, the basic premise of this statement is that "you're a long time dead". This is something that crosses the mine of most people, particularly on a Monday morning. If life is so precious, if this is all we'll ever have, why the hell am I wasting it surfing the web all day in an open-plan office?

Welcome to my boss is a buffoon. To use management speak, this is a "diarised overview of the politics within the dynamic and proactive office environment."
