    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

    I did for about 4 week but then one day someone asked him something and he just stood up and stabbed him in the eye with a black Bic pen....

    Good luck with that......

          I used to sit next to someone who was diagnosed with RSI and had to used one of those damned speech-to-text interpreters. Thankfully she was doing design docs and not code - imagine that!

              I used to sit next to someone with Tourettes. He did first line support and quite frequently used to tell people to F-f-**** Off on the phone. Brilliant.

                I have also in my time sat next to

                (i) a cross dressing transexual (ie a big bloke in a dress)

                (ii) a man with no thumbs

                These gigs did not last very long for me.

                  At the last gig there was a permie who was always tutting, sighing and swearing under his breath, just loud enough that I could hear.

                  I don't mind to be honest. I've worked places where the office is dead silence the whole day, and that just makes you want to slit your wrists.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    poor sod.

                    I once got into a taxi in Scunthorpe being driven by a woman with no arms.
                    she had one foot on the pedals and one foot on the steering wheel
