    I was working at company 1 with this guy who was totally useless at what he did that I ended up covering for him more often than not.
    He left there to go to company 2 about a week before I started work at company 2 also.
    He lasted 2 weeks before company 2 sussed him out and he got the boot!

          I once had a stalker follow me to two consecutive contracts I had in the same region, and she was a permie. Wouldn't have minded if she was a stunner, but no such luck. Hence the disguise.

            I didn't know that he'd joined company 2 until I got there. If I'd known he was there I wouldn't have taken the job.

            Here's a tip PAH. If you take the disguise off when you go out socially you'll have much better luck - believe me, I'm (not) an agent.....

                I don't. I only use magic sticks. They can even detect fake boobs without me having to gaze down.

                    I'm not about to give away how the magic works, all I'll say is the women usually leave with a deflated ego.

                      That just means that he was bad at lying. Some people can make a successful career of it
