Well, the meeting was a bit of a non-event, in more than one way. Gavin chatted to me as if our little spat had never happened, which I must give him credit for (although the chances are he has simply forgotten about it, rather than worked through it) and I have to say the whole thing was about as much use as a record player made of cheese. We are all perfectly prepared and sorted and we don't need the owner of the company sweeping in and saving us, especially when he's only turned up a few days before things start happening. If a manager really wants to manage, shouldn't they be on hand when things are being instigated, planned and discussed; not 72 hours before it kicks off, when it's too late to have an influence in any way and all the cracks have already been ironed out? It's a bit like Father Christmas walking into the toy factory on the morning of December 23rd and going, "How are we doing with plans for making toys this year?" He'd have been more help if he'd kept himself away. Honestly, today felt about as useful as a pizza oven made of chocolate.
