Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Good luck, put your argument over as best you, don't loose the heid, don't answer her questions right away, take a second and think about the question and your answer carefully, once you've said something you've said it, this may sound obvious but I was in the same situation about 18 months ago and "in the heat of battle" it's easy to loose the plot a bit. Get as much down on paper or dicta-phone as poss', make SURE you get her version of the minutes and argue over them, remember, these bastards will say any thing to get you "hot under the collar", don't let them, let them see the most polite, obliging and work conciouse bloke in the building, if that fails, then STAB the bastards!, and remember, you've got ma number.

They have to eat, s**t and sleep just like you do, they're not a speck more special than you, except they earn a lot more money and they can sack you and....*cough*

James, don't admit defeat before it's even happened - it may not. I can only back up what others have already said. Don't lose the rag, no matter what poison is spat at you, and take time over your answers. If you get the chance, remind them of what you have done well - and I'm sure there must be a lot, avoid counter-attack if they try to bait you but make sure you stand up for yourself!
I wish you the best of luck to get through this sh*te and I second what Scotty and Andrew_S said. In my own words: keep up a pokerface, don't let them make you explode, say your part as calmly as possible, and avoid any direct "I haven't - she has" game. That's the only way to win. As soon as you take up the offer of such a kindergartenlike game you loose. But if you can stay calm and matter-of-factly you win, and that's what you need - for your own sake, and for any future job you might take on.
