Horses For Courses

It's been a particularly hectic week at Punch this week. Don't get me wrong, it's always hectic, but this week has been especially so. We're not out of the woods yet, but having spent much of the day scrabbling around in the dark, I feel at least we are once again on the right path and as long as we don't take any wrong turns, we should emerge from the woods at some point on Monday afternoon. It's been a long journey and a particularly long metaphor.

Anyway, what have we learned from our trip to the woods? Well, for one thing, I do like to murder a good metaphor. Secondly, if you are a technical person, with a highly technical question, that perhaps you choose to communicate in binary code, then I am not your man.

Fortunately, we have technical people here that can help. Sure, most of them wear glasses, dress oddly and spend their weekends locked inside playing computer games, but hey, variety is the spice of life and all that. Seriously, they really are very good. Very good indeed. And I absolutely rely on their counsel when somebody does try and communicate with me in binary. They are my translators. They are the absolutely essential cogs in the machine. And it works both ways. I help them with words. And thoughts. And offer tips on how to function in the real world, such as standing up straight, not shuffling and talking to real people in the real world without sweating, scratching or bursting into tears. That's what I can bring to the party. And it works. It's a good team effort. Yin and yang and all that.

So this is my way of saying thank you. Thank you to the geeks for guiding us back to the path today. Thank you for putting a few extra hours in to ensure we get out of the woods on Monday. And as a little special thank you gift, here's something to get you all hot and excited...1101010101101010100110101001011011111010101010010101010010100 10101010101001 x
