    The hardest part of benchtime is what to do. I was f*** bored. I need a hobby for next time. I understand why people play golf or garden now.

    As for signing on. If you're not willing to take a perm job then you shouldn't be signing on.
    Definitely, for me it's running, mountain biking, photography, motorcycling - I sometimes wonder how I fit in a job

          He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

          I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
