Very possible, I don't hide my despise toward meaningless evaluating and team building techniques. If you are running a company in need of my skills you need me as cynical as I can get because you need no-bs results. > Jeez, can't anything just be fun and interesting? It can but this is not friendly team building game. This is committee evaluating candidate play. Can't see fun in that.
