    Office politics…

    Argh, this place is now starting to get to me.

    I have been asked to complete an online form requesting the ‘perk’ of a laptop with VPN. Not quite trusted for the 3G card, which would have actually made it bearable.

    Had to complete this daft online form quoting a board member who will support my application. Er… Not MY application, it is my boss’s. It was a lot easier to handle when boss was my client.

    Oh, joy.

    The younger local permies are not happy about my 7-3 hours and kicking off completely missing the point that it is a case of 7-3, or not working here because of the 3 hour 9-5 commute against an hour for 7-3.

    The sooner I get this laptop come to think of it, the sooner I may be able to have the odd day home working. If only 3G I would be able to ‘work’ from the beach when the summer sun kicks in.

    Hmm…. Wonder if getting the Three dongle will also work on a works laptop? Probably not…..

    Cursing this credit crunch and the doom of nice contracts………..

              I'm pretty much sure we've passed the;

              <<canned laughter>>

              stage now. If he were a horse, he'd be dog food or glue by now.

              Someone pleeeease put him out of his misery. It's the kind thing to do.

                  I would have thought that they would be happy, having you in the office for fewer hours at the same time as them.
