    Why do I always get a desk

    at clientco near the blinkin annoying women who around this time of day emerge from the bogs reeking of the foul stench of a Bratislavan Chemical factory, having emptied half a can of that special body spray that smells like a cross between formaldehyde and fly spray all over their fetid bodies?

    And whilst we are about it, what twunt made saying "bye" the absolute maximum number of times at the end of a phone call into a flipin compulsory contest?

    I may be a fella, but even I can tell you're upset about something. Have you got the decorators in?

        The missus does that, it must be a woman's thing. Men start a conversation with a grunt and end with a grunt. REAL MEN say nothing in between. (Unless it's a grunt)

          I know some guys (pimps) who do that as well and or some reason their voice goes up an octave when they do it.

          I find the women who do the same bleedin' irritating.

                    Just be glad you got a desk. At my second contract they didn't get me a desk until the third week, and then I had to stand there watching the project manager unpack it, try to decipher the instructions, and assemble the damn thing

                    I was quite pleased that they managed to get a computer to go with it just before I headed back to my hotel at teatime
