My entire team is malingering off sick today. Every single one of them. (OK, with the exception of Tulna, who's off on holiday.)

That means I'm in charge. I've already raised the purchase order for a speced-up 15" PowerBook, and I'm doing my review this afternoon. I think I might come out of it rather well.

I have no idea what it is that they all do together to spread the bug, by the way, but clearly I'm being left out of it.

Update: I've done the review. It turns out that I'm an exemplary employee, with virtually no faults, save for a tendency for over-modesty. A promotion and a very large pay rise are in order.
