When my colleagues and I return from leave at the end of September, I will begin easing out of my current day-to-day Production Management role. This is mostly to allow my colleague who will take on this role in January to ease into it now. However, according to my immediate boss, it also allows me to to take on some “Special Operations” during my last three months at Leckie & Leckie.

I will be known as an S. O. B. (Special Operations Bruce). You may prefer to expand this acronym in other ways.

My reports, especially when things don’t work, will be known as “SOB-stories”.

Of course, if I’m caught out of uniform behind enemy lines, I can be shot without trial. I think this is a cunning plan by Granada Learning to avoid paying my redundancy payment. Please keep your eyes peeled for 5th Columnists operating within ITV or Granada Learning who might give me away.

Now I know why I bear such a striking physical resemblance to Tom Cruise.
