Today saw the crowning event in my new role as an IT security officer for
the Bank.

A colleague of mine, Dave, had been waiting for me to come by to talk to
him, but I hadn't come by yet because I was still at my desk talking to
another colleague, Neil.

Finally Dave had to take a break, and as he passed by my desk he explained,
"I'm just going to the loo."  I nodded, and he continued on.

Whereupon Neil gave a respectful whistle.  "You really DO have this whole
office under control, don't you??"
