    I always tend to use the 'passive voice' approach, e.g. " the role
    consisted of..." rather then "the person did this...". IYSWIM.

    I find it easier to say "I rock" or "Ben rocks" than to say "The role
    involved rocking".

    But, if "Ben's" was a contraction of "Ben has", then it was correct!

    I had one of those moments today. Sat with a customer and my mind went
    totally blank for a second or two. I honestly wondered what I was doing
    there surrounded by leathers and helmets. Then I looked down and saw
    the half filled out order pad in front of me and it all came back
    slowly.

    On the bright side dude if it all came back it prolly ain't ordinary
    brain rot.

    Sounds rather like a mild epileptic incident. When is your next set of
    tests?

    No appointment has been set for my MRI scan yet. I have eye tests in
    mid-May, so will mention it then. This is the very first time this has
    happened to me, but I put it down to a lack of sleep[1] and an
    extremely busy workload[2] at the moment.

    [1] I'm lucky to manage 4 hours a night.
    [2] Currently sitting at approx 80% *over* target figure[3] for this
    month, with one day's selling to go.
    [3] Last month I was 59% over target.

    It's no big deal. A little worrying at first but it is a bit like what
    you are left with after a broken bone, you get used to the oddness of
    it.

    That won't help. Stress never does.
