Then they write it all down and attach some pound signs....
And there was I thinking that most managers had been post-hole experts in a previous life, before they were promoted to their level of incompetence! Oh well, you live and learn. Presumably the managers have all their field experience excised the moment they get promoted, so they no longer know how long things take to do or how much they cost or how they are done in the field. :0
'Reality,' sa molesworth 2, 'is so unspeakably sordid it make me shudder.'
