The Illusion Of Control

Now packing for a couple of weeks up north in Maison KL having spent the morning clearing up and cleaning up at my desk at work. Strange how this gives me a feeling of assurance that somehow all is in order when I know that at best fiddling about round the edges just about keeps the chaos of it all in check. Funnily enough I have one colleague whose desk is swamped with mounds of papers and the like such that you'd think he wouldn't have a clue about anything but who is incredibly methodical and reliable when it comes to the real business of getting things done. No illusions there.
