Best Places to Work

[ChrisPackit]

Reading the thread about 'Grim Places to Work ' made me think how good I've got it at this gig.

- 7 hour day, home for 4pm.
- Fantastic Gym
- Relaxing atmosphere
- Friendly colleagues
- Costa Coffee bar with 50p Americanos
- More fit totty than you can shake a stick at.

I think this must be in the 'Best Places to Work' I've ever done.

This place and perhaps Radbrook ten years ago.

Any more suggestions...?

Middlesex University was good at least half the IT were musicians or ex roadies (yup the tape swappers) and actively wanted contractors that would fit in, cheap food and parkland to walk through

Winfrith, a bit of shame that shut it down. Life was pretty cushy there, staff were friendly they were good times

Looking back most gigs have been pretty awful though

They are a bit too noisy these days but 10 years ago if I turned up with a bit of a hangover I'd head in there to take advantage of the aircon and lack of people.

Aftrt a recent home based contract I decided to make working life more bearable. Step 1 was to bring in my own cafetière. I now see my morning coffee as a tiny joy rather than a corporate caffeine enema. Perhaps NLUK can find out whether this is a good IR35 pointer.

bringing your own coffee and cafetière is something that i have done for years, can't abide bad coffee, of which starbucks is one of them.
