Well, as one of the managing directors of eSolutions Services, I think that you should find it simple to give it some more. First, give yourself a raise. Second, take an extra 30 minutes for lunch. Third after coming back from lunch, reprimand yourself for taking a long lunch. Fourth, rescind the raise because of the extra 30 minutes. Fifth, because you took a long lunch, order yourself to work 30 minutes late.

Follow the above steps as many times as necessary and we'll have that authority shaped up in no time at all!< bg >
