      I once spent 2 days stuffing envelopes @ £571.43 + VAT per day. The client hiring manager wouldn't provide a clerical person to do it, and I needed it done, so I spent two days at the desk opposite him, happily working away.

        Euphemism?

          nah just the decimal place too far to the right. £5.71 would be overpaying him.

              I contracted at an ivf clinic and due to shortages I was paid to wank for two days. However, when I went back to working in the IT team they kept sending me emails saying I should stop it now.

                  Not if it was voluntary....

                  Just because your co generally offers IT consultancy - you will happily take on other work as long as it pays well...

                  Maybe anyway!
