Variance

I am constantly dismayed by the vehement dislike of my old scheduling emails that is expressed by a small but significant percentage of you, as demonstrated in a recent readership survey (unpublished data; a conversation with some friends a few days ago.) These used to be highly regarded in my department at work, and I was well known as a purveyor of wry observational humour and dry wit. I might possibly feel quite bad about foisting these on you time and again, if any of you were actually paying to read this. As it is, I’m quite free to do my own thing, so nyah nyah nyah to you. I will however make the concession to always label them as such so that no one is accidentally tricked into reading something they already know they won’t like (harrumph). Does this count as a New Years resolution? If you like. So, feedback welcome but no guarantees I’m going to implement any suggestions if I don’t want to. Satisfied?
