How should i act in the work place?

Turn up, do what you are told and remember to invoice.

This has the potential to backfire marvellously. Like asking the girl on reception if she can give you a hand with this cup.

Wouldn't that require two girls on reception or are subbing for one of them?

Yep, subbing.

Not especially. I know you're hinting at IR35 implications of direction and control, but it's not unreasonable for a client to expect you to do *some* things they tell you to. We're contractors, we're not Bartleby the Scrivener.

"Ok, can you build us a widget that does <x>?"

"I would prefer not to"

Come to think of it, maybe Bartleby wasn't a passive-aggressive douchebag at all. Maybe he was just worried about IR35.

Not unless he has moved up north - according to IP lookup...

To the OP - of course you should treat the work seriously. If your work-load is heavy and you want to make a good impression then crack on. It isn't just renewal that you should think of - also consider the LI recommendations, nurturing contacts for later on business deals etc...

Its not me but can just administrators use IP Lookup?

Seems a bit of weird if anyone can see where a post is coming from surely???

I can do it as a super user. Not sure if normal members can do it.

I can under my other log in as a super duper user.

You're a super user?

You're a super user?

Yup. Don't have mod level permissions though so can't do anything with the posts and the like. I can just see all the users details and some back end permissions.
