The best laid pens...

So you can do the sensible thing over the weekend, get plenty of sleep, you can get to your meeting on Monday morning in plenty of time, with the right paper work, a large AO plan cunningly prepared to aid discussions, paper to take notes on and a pen to write with.

Panic can then start to well up, when the only other pen that seems to be in your bag is one like this:



All the preparation, skill, knowledge and experience in the world isn’t going to stand in the way of that ever so possibly undermining your credibility.

Search, search, search. Rummage, rummage, rummage.

Oh thank God…a biro.

Disaster averted.
