Well as you both know, it *should* be that the two come together - you
are held responsible for that which you actually have power over. But -
as I'm sure you're also both aware - this is sadly not always the case...

Heh. Thanks.
For some reason, I'm reminded of this:

...and actually, just before I posted this, I got called downstairs for
the food thing. I just ate an entire cake! I feel much happier now! :-D

sentence. :-}
Actually, wasn't there some advert for something that featured an entire
office of people using beanie bags instead of real chairs? Something
like "you could give everybody beanie bags to create an informal and
inspiring atmosphere, but if you REALLY want to boost productivity, buy
product X"...

You mean sometimes you are held responsible for things which are not
under your control at all?
