Isn't a better way to just sit with the client's development team
and/or management, and get things done together?

I don't actually like finishing reports very much - but having to
write them does force one to actually think long and hard about
what's going on.

Hi John,
I am surprised to hear that people now say that stretching is
harmful. I have been doing sports and martial arts all my life and
stretching has been a VERY important after each game/session.
At the moment my physio therapist suggest that I stretch out more
