- A contact point for finding shiny suited recruiters

Sawing off the branch you are sitting on, annoying.
Doing 60 at once, amusing.
The team that approved and performed this work being entirely offshore, Priceless!
In fact, remembering that event has entirely removed the current WAMT from my mind.
A good giggle is a valuable thing.
