    Does that count?
    Count for what?

      I had an interview like that once.

      After hearing half an hour's monologue without a chance of getting a word in edgeways I'd decided the bloke wasn't interested in me anyway so it was a waste of time.

        Insert a comma after 'girl' and it will be OK.

          Raping is never Ok.

            I had the same thing years and years ago for GSK - I just sat there and and let him tell me as much as he wanted to. In the end there wasn't time to ask me anything. I think that's why I got the job! I ended up milking that one for 4 years.
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

              I once got interviewed by CIO. THe head of IT started with a 30 minute slot. He spent 25 minutes telling how they were the bees knees. He finished up relaxed in his chair, hands behind his head. He then folded his arms and said "tell me about you"!

              I then met various other team members who ranged from very stressed to borderline psychotic - one woman even sat there pulling at her hair.

              The fact that someone with as many mental issues as me turned them down should tell you alot.
              Monday is going to be...

              "got a bit of slack, some refactoring work maybe but..."

              "KANBAN!, I HAVE JUST BEEN ON A KANBAN COURSE! I MUST SEE SOME KANBAN!"

              "well I could rework this area of code..."

              "KANBAN"

              "i..."

              "KANBAN"

              To be honest I just want to take the sign down on the door that says they still have a AAA rating and chuck it in the bin but I must follow kanban process.
