Thanks John! Loved this one (again!) !

Being French I just have a doubt on 2 things, I'd like to be sure I understand:

=> What do you have in mind with "gardening/weeding"? Like code cleaning, learning, improvements... or real gardening & weeding because that's a way of clearing your mind :) ?

"New hires do support desk duty"

=> What kind of "support desk duty" ? Do you mean "after sales services"/customer management on a web product or internal support for the company like admin/office management?

Thanks!
