From the office of the Pseudovisor

Someone thanked me today for giving him a forum where "I can just bitch.  I feel so much better.  I know you probably feel like shit, but I feel better.  So, thank you."  I think his tongue was firmly in his cheek.  He knew I didn't feel like shit, for example.  This was somewhat later in a meeting where I'd felt obliged to remind someone that I was not acting manager of the team.

And I'm not.  I'm a single point of contact from the director maybe, but I'm not "managing".   Very fiddly point, really.  You might say I'm pseudovising.

And that kinda feels like my day.  I swear I did other work.  But mostly pseudovising and a little tiny bit of fixing a mistake I made 2 years ago that has only just come to light.  (It's about firewall rules, but I don't think I should get into that.)

Tonight's activities:  whisky tasting
