Test managers, BAs, PMs, architects, in fact all non-techie people in IT are tediously dull and surplus to requirements.

Very, very bored. Dragged out to Jersey to keep a chair warm.

Gobby sales manager in the next room whinging and moaning doing my nut in. Yes from time to time you have to chase people, it's a fact of life. Stop moaning, pick up the phone and chase.

But just imagine how good a gig will have to be for me not to moan about it?
