I was speaking to one of our remaining sales people on Friday afternoon, and they said that sometime this week they were going to pass some work over my way on the side as a 1st step to getting more involved with project work. The plan is to "grow the role" in a sideways direction without actually telling anyone :) The reason being that I've had discussions like these before with my boss and nothing's ever come of it, so doing it through the back door seems like the only way.

They also mentioned that if I ever felt it was interfering with my normal work to let them know and they'd scale it back. I'm quite lucky at the moment because I am able to pretty much choose my workload. I only get the "Fusion" support calls if the other Phil is busy or not in, and with the "normal" support calls if I want to answer them I have to specifically pick them out of the queue. This leaves me quite free to get on with other stuff during the day.

I promise, this doesn't involved reading LiveJournal, Google Reader, Travian and Twitter all day long. Mostly.
