Surely two out of the marketing manager, communication manager and PR manager can go, and the project manager and product development manager can also be simplified to one role. The HR manager, Security manager, IT manager and Logistics manager can be shared with other projects, cutting back from 4 full-time employees (FTEs) to 0.5… so the whole management team can be scaled back from 10 FTEs to just 3.5 FTEs, and we will scale Dave up to double Dave.

Our dog has us almost trained. She has been at it for quite some time and is doing remarkably well.

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night, covered in fresh blood. He parked himself on the ceiling of the cave to get some sleep.

Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and started hassling him about where he'd got it. He told them to piss off and let him get some sleep, but they persisted until he finally gave in.

"Okay, follow me," he said as he flapped out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.

Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest of trees.

Finally he slowed and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.

"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked.

"YES, YES, YES!" all the other bats screamed in a frenzy.

"GOOD," shouted the bat, "BECAUSE I FUCKING DIDN'T!"

Garlic is one of those things that I enjoy eating (cheesy garlic bread, minced garlic with some fried vegetables) but then when I smell my or someone's garlic breath, I tend to recover my draculesque abomination towards it.
