            Shocking. I look forward to at least a week sitting around at the start of a new contract, completely unable to do any work or log in to any systems and having to be escorted everywhere. It's all part of the deal.

              I'd be worried. They are probably going to expect you to do some work.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
