What's Going On?

[Lucy]

I wonder how many here have multiple identities ...

(I got the feeling yesterday 'Phoenix' was familiar)

[Lucy]

Light Relief here we come ...

Well, sas, what you do in your own time and all that.

Take no notice of them, I'm Spartacus.

[Lucy]

Okay, but I'm feeling vulnerable today.

[Spartacus]

Why, if you don't mind me asking?

It's a beautiful sunny day, perfect autumn weather, full of joy and promise. Still, I'd rather be back in Egypt.

I am ill.

Started new contract a couple of weeks ago and am lucky enough to be sitting opposite a lovely woman who coughed in my direction for over a week. So here I am.

And I went out last night and that didn't help.

It is a nice day though.

[Spartacus]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Courteous co-workers are such a blessing, aren't they?

Burning the candle at both ends, eh? Take it easy. Have a day off, relax and enjoy the glorious weather.

Are they a permie? I hate it when sick permies struggle in to work thinking that they are "a trouper" when what they are actually doing is potentially costing me money if I end up getting what they have.

Permies get paid days off sick FFS. I wish they would stay at home.

Proper contractors don't get ill. I don't know why that is, but it's true. I can go years without a day off when I'm on the job, but as soon as I'm out, I'm guaranteed to get wiped out by every lurgy under the sun.

No, she's a contractor. She claims it's allergies.

Contagious allergies.
