| 10:19.10 | ChoHag | Has anyone else who uses ICQ noticed an increase in spam? |
| 10:25.13 | AndyMillar | people use icq? |
| 10:26.27 | ChoHag | I don't think so. I connect. That's about it. |
| 10:26.52 | ChoHag | HR asked me after I filled in a pointless form for the dates I moved in to my various abodes. |
| 10:26.57 | ChoHag | Despite them being on the pointless form. |
| 10:27.02 | ChoHag | Now I have received an email asking for the dates I moved out... |
| 10:38.41 | ChoHag | I want to respond to this email with "I moved out of house X the day I moved in to house Y, but between house Y and Z I spent 6 months living under Waterloo bridge." |
| 10:46.18 | hali | background checks are usually quite important for compliance |
| 10:46.28 | hali | i don't see what's wrong with that email from HR |
| 10:47.01 | ChoHag | Then I think we may have an opening for you. |
| 10:47.38 | ChoHag | They asked for, and received, the dates I moved into my past houses. |
| 10:47.46 | ChoHag | They have now asked for the dates I moved out. |
| 10:48.02 | ChoHag | The date you move out of one house is the date you move into the next one. |
| 10:48.11 | hali | probably just to make sure you DIDN'T actually live under waterloo bridge and that your numbers match up |
| 10:48.30 | hali | you could have lived with a friend for a few weeks or something |
| 10:48.36 | ChoHag | Anyone not destined for HR could have worked that out. |
| 10:48.59 | ChoHag | So enjoy your time in HR where, it must be said, the women are more attractive and there are more of them. |
| 10:49.02 | ChoHag | Hmmm. |
| 10:49.28 | hali | i quite fancy our HR assistant lady here, one of the nicest girls in the office |
| 10:49.55 | hali | sure beats the female indian developer we have, they look more like car mechanics / wrestlers |
| 10:50.00 | ChoHag | Yeah the woman who forwarded this request is pretty nice. |
| 10:50.10 | ChoHag | I might just not respond so she has to come to my desk and ask. |
| 10:50.25 | hali | and give you a boob-grace on your shoulder |
| 10:51.08 | ChoHag | Naa. The chinese account manager is the one that does that. |
| 10:51.26 | ChoHag | She's also attractive. |
| 10:51.39 | ChoHag | You know, apart from the money, I've yet to find a good reason to work in IT. |
| 10:56.02 | hali | i work in IT because i think it's fun |
| 10:56.08 | ChoHag | Yeah. Same. |
| 10:56.09 | hali | would easily work for half the money in the right company |
| 10:56.11 | ChoHag | But then I remember. |
