[QUOTE="Bear"] [QUOTE="platypus"] [QUOTE="Bear"] heh. Welcome to the wonderful world of sugar and spice that is projects :)[/QUOTE] I'm currently going with the supposition that I don't actually have to do /anything/. Any time I've moved away from this position, I've picked up jobs[1] and aggro. So I'm spending my days holding back from involving myself in even interesting-looking work, because I know what'll happen. I'd quite like a proper job now, please.[/QUOTE] That makes 2 of us :) [QUOTE] and 3-hour conference calls.[/QUOTE] These are the work of Satan, doubly so if Americans are involved[/QUOTE] I had a concall the other week, hosted by Americans, with a US number to dial. Turned out that the American idiots who had set up the call were in London, but couldn't organise a UK number. So everyone on the call - about a dozen - was in the UK, but were dialling the US. And then, halfway through, somebody else comes on, 'cos it's a shared number and they've got it booked... <grinds teeth>
