    I share in this vision of "Schadenfreude"...I work in Cloud, so 10 days off before Xmas means the sky better remain blue during the furlough.
    I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

      Support, name of BrilloPad? You're a kin pot washer aren't you?!?

      No, must admit, like the idea of forced leave, especially over Christmas. Saves you being treated like a perm at any point in the festivities.

          Initially it was 21, 22, 23, 24 and 29. Just added 30 and 31. Which I already had off. Only difference is that I will be locked out instead of away.

          Can I do more whining or do I use up my whine quota on the first post?

          Additionally, if not at work, I probably wont sign in to CUK. What will you lot do without me?

            Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                NLUK just kills off the supply of fresh meat to general.

                Instead off "have you read the first timers guide" he should put "have you asked that in general".

                  True, this is where all the "fun" happens .
                  However, I have seen some first timers, in here, that only post once

                    Lol. That's a splendid idea actually. Not to sure admin would agree but I sure handled in a reasonable and measured way that would work!

                      It would definitely work.
                      I always thought General was for General questions about contracting, after all
