Dominic Lawson once described Lucy Kellaway as having a ''lavatory face''. This isn't quite as dreadful as it sounds. It simply means that if you went into a strange office she's the person you would spot as being the one to direct you to the loo. Whilst this might not be the primary qualification for being an agony aunt, I can't think of a better one. You've just found someone who is discreet and understands that you need a quick and sensible response to your question. Like Lucy Kellaway I've had a fascination with agony columns from an early age, although I think mine was because of an urge to find that there were people who felt worse than I did rather than her more laudable wish to help people. She's been the agony columnist for the ''FT'' since the beginning of 2006.
For another look at how you should behave in the workplace but in a rather more traditional format, you might like to read our review of [[The Unwritten Laws of Business]].
