pasted around my monitor. Clockwise, starting top left:
“valuation, revenue, cash burn, forecasts” – useful financial metrics for privately held companies.
“when hairballs come to fruition” – a particularly juicy mixed metaphor, courtesy of our London editor, famous for such.
Dial-in number for Monday morning editorial conference call.
To-do list – stories in progress.
“EAT ENOUGH!!!”
The Tibetan Book of Thoroughbred Training, from Jane Smiley’s novel Horse Heaven.
A chart equating the old, familiar IBM product names (S/390, AS400) with their bland replacements (zSeries, iSeries).
Mobile number for Nick in New York.
One post-it note has been banished to my noticeboard: it lists Borges’ animals.
