On one hand I agree there is nothing worse than having nothing to do all day but in the current market turning down money is a brave move.

The problem is the camera is behind my back facing monitors and they've proved they are looking at it. I'm out of ideas how to stall this contract further.
Personally, I'd be out of there like a bat out of hell. Jeez, do they count the number of sheets of loo-roll that you use every time you return from the toilet? Hell, does somebody have to accompany you and wipe your a$$ for you to ensure you're not using more than the regulation quantity of paper?Comment

What is the purpose of the camera? How does the OP know they use it to monitor him?
Unless he's on some super-secret government site, in which case he shouldn't be talking about it in an open forum, I see no reason for this intrusion. I think I'd be gone.Comment

Having longer poo is the tactic i applied years ago. No need to teach me that haha.
Writing documentation seems another decent advice. We all know it's useless and take ages.
Writing useless CUK posts is something NLUK mastered too so need to learn that from him (all my posts are massive value)
Either way , they don't seem to care about me browsing so far so maybe i'm overreacting and "keep calm and carry on invoicing"...Comment
