So last week had plenty of work in it, but overall it was relatively quiet, as two of my five direct reports were on vacation, and one was quarter-time post the birth of a child. I had to do some backfill for them, but it was generally less than the various stuff they lob at me on a given day.
On top of that, my boss was relatively quiet, distracted by something else (further deponent sayeth not).
That all appears to have changed, as a wave of e-mail from various and sundry have inundated my inbox, including some “please send me” requests from my boss for things that I don’t have at hand to send him.
Oh, boy! Opportunities!
