Slow Biker - sounds like the cavalry. After I rejoined and was posted to Binbrook as OC Accts (a bit older than the average first tourist), I was living in the Mess, and usually in work by 0730, which gave me the opportunity to go through OC PMS's tray in the registry so I knew what was coming my way. Only person generally in at that time apart from registry staff was the wily old OC Admin, who had done every job in the Branch from SAC to wg cdr. One day as I was taking my coat off my phone rang - no intro, no name, just a voice recognisable as Mike West - "If you come in early every day, people will realise and start ringing you early - don't do it EVERY day". great guy, great boss. His daughter gave him the old Athena Orang Utan poster, captioned, "Save time, see it my way".
