A new broom sweeps anything?

We have a new big boss and one of her first decisions is to be whether we have an intermediary boss. I can't see the intermeidary is required in such a small team, and nor has she achieved a great deal... But the new boss doesn't have the history to make the decision. I suspect the intermediary will stay, which is a minor irritation.

Spent about half an hour lisstening to the mother in law witter on last night. She is pretty boring to listen to so I always end up doing something else at the same time - last night was weeding. If I do something else she gets to talk as long as she wants to rather than as long as my tolerance - its an easy way to keep her happy without getting too homicidal. And I usually get something done that needs to be done as well.

Have recently found a very local weather station at http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/aandjisa/trenthamweather.htm - sorry that isn't a proper link but the button has just stopped working for me. Technology ay? The link is pretty cool for really local weather - I wonder if he takes his own readings?

I reckon you campaign to get rid of the intermediary. I've had one of those and they are arse. Because they don't really have a 'proper' job and there's not really anything for them to do, they start to really try and 'manage' you. Arrghh
