Words by Ben Maddox
Q. Dear Ben,
I used to be in the prime of life. Strong and determined with an iron cast will. My beard, a flaming red, drew gasps of admiration and jealousy when I would pass people in the streets. It feels so long ago now, but it was only at the beginning of this evening. Before I unboxed my copy of the new version of Kanban.
Now, I have chipped fingernails, repetitive strain disorder, punch board thumb and a thousand-yard stare. Looking in the mirror just now, I swear I can see some grey coming into my beard. Why, you ask? Well, if you need to ask that question you have clearly never unboxed one of these monstrosities, let alone set it up!
