What to do?

[caddyman]

I am in a bit of a pickle. It's not particularly serious or anything, but it has left me sitting here wondering quite how to approach the damned task.

To rewind a couple of months, my boss accepted on my behalf (thanks, mate), an invitation to give a presentation on rent restructuring to TPAS in Warwick, this Wednesday (or Thursday - I can't remember which). I wasn't especially keen, but not overly put out, either. I would just update the presentation I gave in August and include some information about the consultation outcome.

But since then we have decided¹ to postpone the introduction of the proposals for one year. This is the source of my quandary. Precisely what do I put in the presentation? It makes no sense to outline the proposals and discuss the benefits/disbenefits for half an hour and then say, "but we're not going to do it."

So I am a bit stuck.

And my boss, who I really could do with talking it all through with to agree some kind of approach is off sick today. Now that's planning.

This of course is why I am writing this up rather than re-pitching the presentation: nothing suggests itself. Nonetheless, I daresay something will get done. Adrenaline adds to my creative ability, so by about 3 this afternoon I should be on a roll². In the meantime, I am sitting staring at the screen, completely devoid of inspiration.


¹ By which I mean the Minister decided, see LJ's passim.

² Well, we can hope.

Rehash the presentation and give it anyway. Make out like you are still considering the benefits/unbenefits which is why it has been postponed and would appreciate people's opinions. Then you look more caring instead of a right lemon.
