    You'd get in on a Monday refreshed by your weekend's break and raring to go. After a 3+ hour meeting which threatened to last until the canteen had no decent grub left, you'd be left totally demotivated until about Friday lunchtime.

      The PM who scheduled a 9 am Monday morning client meeting, and didn't send me the meeting invite till Sat, and didn't bother to phone and tell me about it either.

      Luckily I get in at 8 ...

        Some people think they are too important to turn up on time, whilst others are just rude.

        Ready, aim, fire.


        Senior Japanese executives are allowed to sleep through meetings because they are deemed to be so wise and knowledgeable that they do not need to know what is going on in the meeting.

          The Atkins PM who arranged an interview at the Thistle Cheltenham (60 miles from home) and then forgot.

          The Atkins PM who re-arranged the interview (60 miles again) and told me I had the gig... 4 weeks later the agency rang and said they had over allocated their numbers in GC sorry...

          That was in 2005 and yes I’m still bitter… couldn’t find another DV role quick enough before it lapsed.

          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            I'm not sure the Great Wall is going to be long enough - we'll have to do shifts.

              Thinking this through the Kenny Everett approach would be better and probably more economical.
