Love working with an imaginary team. Maybe I should call them departments.

You guessed it, we're short of people. How short? I'd have to kill you.

The advantages are never ending. Just this morning I called an impromptu brain storming session at 8:25 and within seconds the room was alight with words, mounting enthusiasm and shouted brilliant ideas punctured only by slaps over the arm to keep the nicotine patch in place and coffee breaks. It was fab. "We" came up with the concept for a new company brochure that will just blow your mind as we're at the same time clever and elegant. My own swarm of Michael Phelps!

In fact they performed so well I may just have to take them out for a beer later.
