    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                Funnily enough, about a year and a half ago, I did ask if they would consider taking me on as a permie, as they could make considerable cost savings by doing so.

                Nothing's changed since then.

                Ah well...you try and help some people....

                  Just yesterday!

                  Today is the last day on the job.

                  Agent asked if I'd be interested in a premie job, I say's 'I'm no that desperate yet'

                    Went for a permie interview this morning. He even mentioned how much the canteen has improved in an effort to convince me.
