Be prepared.

All scouts should be prepared. Apparently this is also true of engineering offices. We must never run out of pencils. We must always know what the client is going to ask before they do. We must never admit that we’ve made it all up.

And It’s never to early to plan a party. Apparently. We just had an email round to plan the Christmas dinner 2005. Just in case you were wondering it is still July. And it is still rather a long time till Christmas. Unless Christmas has moved. Has Christmas been moved without anyone telling me?!

On an associated work note, Being prepared is also a useful motto to apply to digging yourself out of holes… Particular after comments insulting the place your manager lives by stating that the only bright lights of the town (High Wycombe) are the ones on the police helicopter circling above.. oopss...

You shoudl have said, "Red lights! I meant red lights! And it's a good thing that there's not many red lights about. Because that would be a bad thing. Phew!" And then dramatically sweep your forearm across your forehead."
