Going underground

I'm going to be a little difficult to pin down in August - but there are reasons for that!

I'm not going to be around that much in August.

There I said it.

Sadly I'm not taking an extended holiday, although a girl can dream, nor am I hiding under the desk like the guy in the picture, but instead I'm writing a top secret new report for CRN and it is going to be exciting.But it is a long report. Probably longer than anything I have written before in my entire life! And I thought my dissertation was long 18 years ago!

We have been busy asking lots of opinions for this research piece and it is going to be something that has never been done before.

So please if I don't answer an email don't take it personally, but email is the biggest distraction I can possibly think of so I am trying to ignore it wherever possible and only answer urgent queries out of working hours. I will be checking, but only in the evening.

Then in the same month there is the small matter of reading every single entry for the CRN Channel Awards. And with a record number of entries, I certainly have my work cut out - I roughly estimate I will have read 500,000 words worth of entries by the third week of August. It makes my eyes water just thinking about it. But I'm looking forward to seeing what firms have been up to as well.

Have a great August and I'll see you all the other side!
