    If you enjoy working at 5% of your usual potential whilst receiving a generous rate, they can be quite rewarding.

    Beware the zombie-esque fugue you'll be left with on leaving though, you may need a brain transplant to be sharp enough for a 'proper' future job.

      The rates are good, the work is easy and they tend to go on and on but you will become lazy and leave unskilled and unprepared for the real world... I'm scared!
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              do u beleive this is true. i must admit it has crossed my mind a few times, that i am working myself into a dead end position unable to get other contracts.

              but i truly beleive, that a 2/3 week holiday would put my zombie like presence firmly to bed and out would come the old El Duder ready for work.

                  two words.

                  EASY MONEY.

                  more words...

                  start work at 10:00

                  1 hour for lunch

                  leave the office at 17:00

                    That's the plan, but there's a good chance that you'll return as El Zombie - but with a tan.
