Why would they take what they see as a risk on a contractor going perm until the transition to the long-term new normal is complete then watch you jump ship because the contract market has picked up again over an equally-qualified perm whose only reason for availability was because of their employers going bust during the current crisis? I'll save you answering - they wouldn't. The hardest part of my interview for my first perm job in ten years was convincing them that I wanted to stay perm. Easy for me, I genuinely do at this stage of my life but longer term who knows?

And it still makes me laugh thinking about it.
Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostThere wasn’t any question, just got referred and operation done. Not sure why there’s all the “oh so hilarious” toenail talk, but one was a hernia and the other an operation to repair a deviated nasal septum.

We're like that round here.
I've never found it necessary to have my deviated septum fixed, either on the NHS or privately.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostSome people need it fixed while others can live happily with it deviated as it doesn't cause other problems.
Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostI had mine done so I could stop being an actual mouth breather and get some sleep. You mileage may vary.
The other amusing thing was someone putting down the Bupa thing on their tax form.
Oh how we all laughed when we were stung for the BIK.
The Infernal Revenue attempted to continue to collect that after I'd left and was unemployed.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
