Off day

A day off work to... work on Tom's school project.

A model of a primitive(ish) dwelling is required and the class are given a view of the previous year's efforts (just to intimidate them). The idea is to learn about the materials and process used... the problems solved... where does the water come from, how do they stay dry yadda yadda...

Thus far Tom has learnt that he's cut out for a managerial role and that employees, when pushed, will eventually get belligerent and undermine the process.

In this case, with lego.
