And the Result was...

A Sunny Weekend above Lac Leman et Environs

At the top of the Le Salève - Normally a take-off spot for parasailing with fine views of the Jura but today a chaussette molle. Budding aviators, please note the temperature inversion!

Prior to the installation of the cable car, and notwithstanding the small railway that existed then, a fine option for the ascent of Le Salève for the more dashing post 1904 would have been la Motosacoche.

Lac Leman - ripples on the water but no wind?

More Corporate Bollox

We are told in the latest missive handed down through Outlook:

“Thrive in Unpredictability”.

And then:

To succeed in these uncertain times, we need to have three key attributes:

1. Line of sight: Ability to see around the next corner

This is a remarkable concept that I shall not rely on entirely whilst I'm taking my IAM test this Saturday!

PS I'm not telling you the other 2.

Corporate Bollox

The company that I have worked in for three years has been recently taken over by another large US corporate organisation, Every day I am sent stuff like this generated by people that I have never heard of before, in jobs that I am amazed they get paid for and certainly these pronouncements add no value to my particular job! This one was sent from "Global Supply Chain Services HR" and probably means that they are going to axe a few more of my colleagues in the near future.

Bollox message reads:

We have invested considerable effort in the design and planning stage of this key change, focusing our organization on:

· Elevated Stakeholder Engagement & Interlock

· Revenue Enablement through both Deal & Account Support

· Cost improvement and transformation

· Enhanced demand planning
