Been here 3 years and still waiting...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.

Agent asked if I'd be interested in a premie job, I say's 'I'm no that desperate yet'"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
