The written word

I tried.

BossOf(BossOf(Virge)).status=UrgentlyBusyAllDayMaybeCallBackLaterSomeConvenientDayOrYear.

So I very carefully composed an (ultra-polite, politically correct, sensitive, supportive, positive, pro-active, open-door policy, win-win situation, opportunity-not-a-problem) email offering suggestions for ways to communicate the state of the business without inducing a mass brain-exodus or a paralysing depression. I can only hope that he reads it.
