I worked with a contractor once who was a complete chancer. Turned up to meetings with no means of taking notes or recording actions; they soon got found out he could not do the role, to be fair to him, he did manage 3 months of blagging it! Even if you're a bit tired the client has seen something they did not like and you have been binned. Chalk it off to experience and move on.

It was a metonymic shortcut to save typing out the word 'inducing.' Any normal person would know what was meant and therefore it shouldn't have been necessary.Originally posted by simes View PostIsn't being narcoleptic relating just to people, not events?
'...likely to be narcolepsy inducing.' ?
Because of you I have to type out this entire answer instead. Thanks. You just wasted bandwidth and forced me to waste more. You are a bad person and should feel bad.
