    Passions in Work and Life

    I have to participate in "team training" and as part of that need to provide a short description about myself including "Passions in Work and Life"

    Anyone know the polite verbiage for drinking, smoking, screwing and doing as little work as possible?

    I'm not sure how to express these my personal passions without upsetting the client

    What are your Passions in Work and Life?

    My passions include politely declining "team training" as i'm not a permie...

            Trust me, it's do the training or feck off. So I'm doing the training. At least 2 other contractors there too.

              Come on, your a contractor. You should be able to blag your way under any circumstances. Tell 'em what they want to hear, grit your teeth and think of the money.

                So technically you are participating in an event that will maximise income for your business. That makes perfect sense.

                You could say that in your personal life you enjoy socialising, and relaxing with the finer things in life....

                    I had one place that did that: do the team stuff or walk. Time NOT billable.
