    sick permies !!!

    I'm trying to rack up a few hours for the Friday early dart and was looking forward to putting my feet up, having a cuppa and making a few phone calls. However two permies are still here, quietly staring at their screens and refusing to leave. What's going on, they are lowly techies and were here at 8am when I got in

    They are probably on ebay.

      And probably pee'd off with me hanging around upsetting their Plan B

      I'm certain they are not doing any productive work, my guess is they are 'ambitious' and trying to impress the boss who has long gone home.

        Why do you care? Just leave and give them the finger on the way out.

          I think it probably is time to send a nicely timestamped email to my boss before running for the door.

            I've been home for > 1 hour and had 2 beers already.

            Just thought it might make you feel better

                roots,

                how's it going was the doco any use ?

                sounds like working away from home is not so bad

                are you staying at the travel lodge ?

                Milan.

                  I left work early and now I'm back from the pub after three pints, Miss Swamp has some steak cooking, and I picked up a bottle of red on the way back. All in all a good day

                    The doco will be in action today, doing some .Net Proxy work today.

                    I'm in a B&B, times are hard, can't stretch to a Travel Lodge
