This is an official message from Poodlepods Main Office - we have deleted the book face. To be honest, at the University of Admin, us old typists have never liked the feeling of being Zucked over.

Unleash your creativity – we tried.
Yup. Try as we might, we just cannot seem to come up with an inspirational quote for social media or a pastel photographic image that really sums up what we are attempting to achieve: No. We who now wallow in the dark arts of admin prefer to hit PowerPoint and go to lunch early -...
