+1 I picked up ram from a supplier today. Could have used a courier, but getting out of the office is vital. A CTO who's lost touch because they haven't been to a remote site in half a decade is a business risk, more so than the CTO being away from their desk. If there is business risk from having the CTO out of touch for a week or even a month then there's a bigger problem. D On 17/02/2012 9:17 p.m., Brandon Butterworth wrote:

It's not a waste, it's therapeutic, breaks the monotony of a desk job, you get a bit of exercise. Doing something mindless can help clear your thoughts, engineering yoga.
Imagine if the CFO of a bank spent a big chunk of his time filling up ATMs.
That'd be a good idea, it's too easy to become remote from reality. obviously you need the right balance - s/big//
