		<description>Oh, great, now it has that word on my blog! :-)

Anyway, er, I don&#039;t know, really. You should probably take this up with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/careers/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Microsoft&#039;s personnel office&lt;/a&gt;. Or talk to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bill Gates&#039; office&lt;/a&gt; directly.

But from what I understand, there is currently no Microsoft employee who has as sole task to count teh Bill&#039;s outbursts. Rather, a peer of the developer being grilled is given that task.

All in all I think you have a good chance if you argue the point that it is much cheaper and better to have one single person do all the counting. After all, after a while you would know all the nuances in all Gates&#039; fucks. When he swallows a word, does that count as a fuck? Is fuckhead a fuck? But what if dildo is a synonym for fuckhead, does dildo count as fuck? These temporary counters would not know, but you would be knee-deep in Bill&#039;s fucks.

Aren&#039;t you glad you asked?</description>

		<description>Interesting. Do you reckon the &quot;fuck counter&quot; has that as his official job counter? Is he still working there? If not, can I have that job? Counting the number of times Bill Gates says &quot;fuck&quot; during an assessment sounds like a cushy and fun number to me.</description>
