    Lunch; I’m in a good mood again

    Desperate to avoid the food poisoning acquired from my last visit to ClientCo’s southern Holland office canteen, I got in the car and asked the satnav to guide me to a restaurant. I ended up here enjoying duck breast with port sauce and morels, accompanied by a rather agreeable glass of Montefalco. Which was nice.

    Would have stayed longer, but time is money!

    Oh, the joys of contracting.

    I worked at one place and enquired about lunch.

    "We try to discourage it here" was the reply from the development manager.

    The joys of working in Britain where 40 hrs a week is considered part time.

      If I’m around he can try as hard as he likes. I am an obstinate git, I am fussy about my food, I am a 16 stone shot putter, and if I get hungry things and people can start flying out of windows. Give me his name and I'll come and sort 'im out for you.

          No, throw him out of the window and then find a good restaurant for my lunch.

              Honestly, ‘we try to discourage lunch’. The only reasonable answer I could give is ‘come over here and say that’.
