    that's right. Real Men(TM) come into work with flu, write terrible code through a fug of illness and high-strength Lemsip, and give their germs to everyone else to take home to their kids.

      If people didnt fritter their hard earned wedge away so easily, taking time off when your ill isnt an issue. I dont normally take holidays during contracts either so there!

      Beside, I have a 160 mile a day drive to work and back so I've no reservations whatsoever about having some time off.
      I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

          Got mine offered to me last week, pretty glad as at first they told me nothing was going to come of it but then something turned up on another team.

            Good feeling indeed. It's also a good feeling to turn down jobs too whilst in an extended contract.
            If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.
