This afternoon Big Boss M from the higher upper legions suddenly popped his head around my door. "I just wanted to let you know you're doing a great job," he said.
"Oh, thanks!" I beamed. I'm always thrilled with a compliment, few and far between as they come.
Little did he know, though, that I'd been about to post this:
Multiplying like Rabbits
Emails in my inbox
Growing
By the hundred
There's no keeping up
There's no keeping track
The ones at the bottom
Long forgotten
Lost in the black hole
Hope they weren't important
Time for some
Emergency damage control
Like autoforward
To someone else's mailbox
Maybe the guy
Sitting there in the corner
Never liked him much anyway
Heh heh heh
Just kidding. I'm on top of things really. Honest.
(Spoken like Napoleon on the eve of Waterloo)

Awww, that's a great poem. What a star you are!
and a historical reference as well, you are spoiling us! Er, btw, should that be AN historical reference - I'm never sure ;-)
Someone told me it's 'a' with a hard H (e.g. house) and 'an' with a soft H (e.g. honest). Don't know if that's correct but at least I have a guideline now :)
