I'm having a very long day today
and I'm very tired. I have a sales meeting coming up (which will be bloody) and I have to resolve some problems with John Lewis.

Any ideas of subtle things I can do in this meeting to amuse myself?

You should make up words and acronyms and drop them in to whatever you're talking about to big yourself up. That's how the pros do it.

in answer to this and to Lampito
it's not officially any extra. Fuel and accomodation is covered and daily subs for food. I should be able to wangle it so I can score an extra £200 a month or so though. Will be a bit underhand, but frankly I don't care. It needs to be worth my while.

I've been stagnating here a bit too, and a change is as good as a rest.

With a bit of luck it should be less stressful than it has been here recently.

Plus it is guaranteed workload in an uncertain time for our industry.
