What does it actually do?
Posted by: mimanifesto on: September 13, 2008
I’m in the middle of assignment-writing for a management and leadership PgDip programme at the moment and, just as I advise my own students to do, I’m taking plenty of ‘reward’ breaks as I work. One of them became more of a ‘Busgirl’s teabreak’ as I switched on the telly and found an episode [...]

I’m on my way at last – and sitting writing this post in Schipol aiport, Amsterdam. Got a change of flight here, long enough to get bored but not long enough for a wee spin around the town.
