I don't think it's a question of multi-tasking, it's more knowing instinctively - as I'm sure you do - how far the butter will spread.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227767014123557100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-38339741586994912482009-11-19T09:36:51.010+00:002009-11-19T09:36:51.010+00:00Parkinson's law is very true, Jon and so is yo...Parkinson's law is very true, Jon and so is your reverse. The power of the deadline concentrates the mind wonderfully.<br /><br />HDWK, actually that does. Thank you.<br /><br />The former chairman is superb and I won't be as good as her because she has the ability and the concentration to focus fully on both the broader picture and the detail at all times. I'm not bad, but I'm not at her level. Fortunately, the head is outstandingly good and we'll get by. But thank you all the same, although there was no need.<br /><br />I've been careful for a long time, BW and I've resisted many mild indiscretions which would have seemed harmless but were better resisted. But you're right. And the one in my previous comment is something I'd say to her face and she'd laugh. And thank you - this thing is only two meetings a year plus two informal get-togethers to plan the meetings, and the present incumbent has greatly simplified the procedure. It's a bit of work but no stress except deadlines. I really appreciate the care and I know it's good advice.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-65622632894814151972009-11-19T08:41:36.212+00:002009-11-19T08:41:36.212+00:00You'll have to be more careful about what you ...You'll have to be more careful about what you write now...<br /><br />Whilst I am very pleased for the school, I do think you should get your own health issues more under control/sorted before volunteering for anything else, or it'll be another excuse for staggering on painfully lop-sidedly. Just a little friendly 'motherly advice' ;)Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-31939102530614561732009-11-19T05:54:24.141+00:002009-11-19T05:54:24.141+00:00Z, u r not a born amateur, u r a born multi tasker...Z, u r not a born amateur, u r a born multi tasker who is not obsessed with perfection, and is therefore actually effective.. there.. makes u feel gud abt ur day?How do we knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01763488475931737293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-53897934853456366242009-11-19T04:15:39.322+00:002009-11-19T04:15:39.322+00:00Parkinson's Law:

But there's a flip side to that coin as well...<br /><br />The fuller your time is the more you get done in the same time as a government employee takes to answer an email!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415555531504843017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-91262902282518158482009-11-18T20:25:25.558+00:002009-11-18T20:25:25.558+00:00I'm the fool that rushes in, 4D.

And succeeded tremendously, I'll add), I persuaded the ringleader to join the governors. She was great, I knew she would be. And I'd rather she was on the inside pissing out...Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-11500167808443991432009-11-18T20:20:07.297+00:002009-11-18T20:20:07.297+00:00Enthusiastic amateurs are invariably the best ther...Enthusiastic amateurs are invariably the best there is...<br /><br />Just look at the non-league sides that give even Premiership clubs a hard time in the FA Cup.<br /><br />Board of Governers?
