As I'm team leader for the ground floor for the next couple of years, one of things I thought might be nice was suggesting lunch for the dozen or so of us at a nearby cafe. Better yet, I could delegate the actual organization of that to the floor manager. We decided to go mad and invite not just the core 6 of us, but also two weekend people and the two or three who support us from technical services. A wider team that almost never meets as a 'team' unless we get together like this.

But there was a slightly bitter taste to my otherwise excellent food when I realized that the list of people in the team was slightly out of date and the floor manager had missed someone out in the invitations. Unforgiveable - and it most certainly should have been me who made sure that list was accurate.

Humble pie for dessert then - though the forgotten colleague was very gracious about it.
