I've tried this, I think they just assume you have a sheech imhediment and
can't hronounce 'Hascal'.

Good idea if you need to feel loved. If you value your sanity I think

My experience is that most large companies allocate a training budget but
have no idea what to do with it, so you might have some success here if
you sell yourself well. But you will have to compete with 'methodology'
