New faces.

Some time ago (must be a good month or two by now), I would have reported that Mr Big has gone up in the world. Well, they had been interviewing for his replacement for a while now, and have come to a satisfactory conclusion.

Mr Big's successor popped his nose into the office today (he hasn't officially started, and I had heard no scuttlebutt at all about his appointment). I happened to be sitting in Anarchist Prime's office, waiting for him to sort through the stuff he had to do "before I forget" so that we could get on with the stuff he wanted me to assist with. One of the distractions he faced was the visit of Mr Big's successor, leading to the inevitable corridor chat between said successor, Mr Big, and Anarchist Prime.

Fortunately, it seems that if you can catch Anarchist Prime in a good mood, he'll answer questions about who the man chatting with Mr Big about house hunting in Canberra is.

I'm rather happy about this - one of the problems we've all had to deal with (indirectly) is that Anarchist Prime has not had an opposite number in Production. So, now he does. Will he inherit the title of 'Emperor of Production' from his predecessor? Time will tell. Like it or not, eavesdropping on a single corridor conversation of the nature mentioned above is simply not enough to see what sort of personality he has, and therefore is not enough to say what nickname he'll get from me.
