OT WOMBATS - For sharing!

[carolynwhite2]

I typed this up for another site, and thought you'd all like it too. 
Yep, Ginger (re your post on TOC), we are definitely all certifiable. 
What was that sign-off line that some listee used to use - 'Reality 
is for people who have no imagination' ?!

Just for the record, as of tomorrow I take over a ££m division, some 
13 direct reports plus  20 others in a virtual team, plus scary 
external industrial politics. And I spend my Sunday typing up Potter 
trivia..! It's a coping mechanism I tell myself.

But if I'm even slower responding to queries here than I have been 
recently, that's why. But won't let you down, this is all much more 
interesting than the job, trust me..
