I'm showing Bronwyn how to do a couple of magic tricks on the system when I say in passing:
"And this bit works just like the Budget Expenditure Report."
She gives me A Look.
"What Budget Expenditure Report?"
"The one you run when you want to check... she hasn't shown you the Budget Expenditure Report has she?"
"No."
"So when you want to know how much of the book fund you've got to spend you..."
"Have to ask Mary."
"Just out of curiosity, if you want to know whether or not we're getting the contracted discounts you..."
"Have to ask Mary."
"And if you want to know how much stock has gone through the Acq. Team this month?"
"That's right."
"Shit. You've been doing that job for a year and she hasn't... Do you want a copy of the training plan I proposed for your job that she said was unnecessary because she was going to sort it?"
"Yes please."
"Do you want to check diaries and make a few training dates?"
"I was too embarassed to ask."
I am struck speechless.
