Then he made us sign the register. One gentleman noticed he wasn't on the list. Was he still sure, the teacher asked, that he was in the right course?
"Yes, yes" he said, "room 3.6".
"OK" said the teacher, "there must have been a mixup, add your name on the list, the more the merrier". And he started the course.
After about 15 minutes of being led by the nose around the financial car crash of CapGemini's 2003 accounts, the unlisted gentleman lifted his hand. "Excuse me, but I think I'm in the wrong course."
"What course are you supposed to be in?" we all asked.
"Assertiveness...."
It took a while to restore order.
We subsequently discovered that several people had been turned away before any of us had turned up. We think the assertiveness course people deliberately give students the wrong room number as a test of just how much work is needed.
I'm assertive, I'm assertive!
