[Werk] IT handover

[dancefloorlandmine]

Is it overly pessimistic to have "A Poisoned Chalice" as the working title for the handover briefing agenda I'm preparing for our new IT manager?

That's OK - he's only going to see the paper copy - it's my briefing agenda ...

Not at all. I'd even use it as the 'real' title. But then I was tempted to rename our internal documentation website 'The book of lies'.

Unfortunately, he seems reasonably sensible. Like all of us here, he's effectively wearing two hats - so he's only a partly IT person (like me, actually - I started off here as data entry, and technically, that's still my main job (even if I have only done one day of it in the last fortnight)). He does have a sense of humour - I'm just not sure whether it gets applied to work.
