Return of the father

Our VP returned from paternity leave yesterday. He’d been out since 20 December, and apparently he took the term “out” seriously: as soon as the Help Desk staff got in, he had to go down to get his emails synched on his mobile again.

There must have been tens of thousands of them backed up in those six weeks.

I’m sure this is a relief to my manager, who’d been acting in the VP’s place during this time. He did a bang-up job, but he was working just about all the hours God sends, and we’re in weird times, what with Mr. Big Wheel and all.

WRT what, precisely, is going on, I’m still unclear. Actually, I think everyone’s still unclear about that, including Mr. BW. But with the return of the VP, we have one more layer of sanity to cushion us.
