While at first I thought of spreading the rumor that Tootler was (once) one of those managers who likes his naps...
I'm glad you didn't spread that rumour, JiK as I have never been a manager (with or without naps). I did suffer from naps in the year before I retired, though but about six months after I retired, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer and it turned out that wanting too many naps is one of the symptoms. If only I had known at the time as it caused me much embarrassment on a few occasions and I once crashed my car because of it - fortunately no other vehicle involved and the only damage was to the vehicle (and my pride).
You are right about PP being an adjunct and it was as a summary of main points that I used it. Being and Engineering Lecturer, I could also make sure that the students had the correct forms of important equations.
PS
The bowel cancer was dealt with by surgery. Fortunately the tumour had not penetrated the bowel wall and I was given the all clear a year ago - though I don't think you are ever truly clear.
PPS
I can now enjoy my naps with impunity :-)
