    Mobile indicate who is ringing so you can decide if you want to pick it up

    Compan y Mobile = free phone calls
    And a clear proof that you are able to telecommute since they can reach you anywhere and you can work anywhere.

    Think of these things as swords. You need to handle them from the right size and hurt or you get hurt by them.
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      Oh and you know this for a fact do you? Phones are not classed as a bik - I had a phone from a client for 2 years with one contract and it never touched my tax bill. So all the while I got free phone calls with no bills while you were presumably getting bills for your phone. I think that makes you more of a muppet then me.

      As for being at the company's beck and call 24-7, what a crock. All phones come with an on/off function so that you can turn them off and on. So if you turn it off they cannot use it to call you. Simple but obviously a concept you struggle to deal with.

      Wrong on both counts then. Well done!
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!
