JDD and Interview Hockey

In an ideal world, when you are popping out for a quick bite of breakfast and a pick me up infused beverage with your chums at work, you don't want to bump into the boss in the rotating door of the office.

The 'JDD' game was born. You can substitute JD with your own boss's initials and play along.

In JD Dodgeball you get a point if you can get to the canteen without being spotted by JD.

Points accumulate until you are caught.  At that point you can choose to lose all your points or accept a P45.

Needless to say, Dark Chickens will always have the high score due to his tactics of using a back door and skipping between concealing objects such as lamp posts and drain covers which render the user invisible as long as he avoids standing on the straight lines.

There is a new variant of the game called interview hockey.  For this game you will need:
A dress down day
Jobserve
A new suit

To play, wear your best suit on dress down day in the office.  You get a point for every person who asks if you have an interview.  Easy, but here's the catch.  You also have to arrange for real interviews.  If someone notices the suit on a real interview day you lose a point.

If you turn up for the interview and find your boss is visiting the same company, perhaps sitting in reception sipping a cup of tea, you lose all your points, even if she looks surprised to see you.

Accidently meeting your current boss at a new company is not the best start to an interview and we recommend that to keep your high score you go disguised as Wiggy.
