      WHS. I'd rather be sticking needles in my own eyes but it doesn't pay as much.

        Hate it. Couldn't do anything else that pays as much (legally) though.
        ...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

          WTAS - sticking my head in a vat of acid would be more pleasurable, but unfortunately I won't get paid for it.

            I certainly don't enjoy leaving my nice, warm, comfortable home to have to go and earn money, but I don't know whether a completely different job (esp one that pays as well) would be any better... That's a different question.

              If memory serves, you're not getting paid for it at the moment anyway. Let us know how the acid thing turns out.

              As for the rest of you miserable bastards I would suggest that if you detest what you do so much then find something more fulfilling, money isn't everything.

                I would prefer to spend the day at the dentist having my teeth pulled out without anaesthetic, but that would cost me more than I could earn.

                  Happily I do enjoy my work, my non-contractor approach means that If I was not happy I would change (as I did 6 years ago when I went back to school)

                  Growing old is mandatory
                  Growing up is optional

                    Doctor, doctor! This contractor is broken. Can you fix him?
