People who ask for things after 4PM on Friday

[FarmerPalmer]

I thought it was customary to go to the pub on a Friday lunchtime?

My last 2 gigs had regulations that said that neither staff nor contractors on site could be under the influence - even specifying the hours between your last consumption of alcohol and arriving at site, and number of units in previous 24 hour period.

strange but true.

I've heard of people in 'the city' getting fired for turning up for work with any detectable alcohol in their system. I suppose the management sneak in the back entrance.

Could that be because they wanted to fire those specific people anyway, or is it genuinely random testing?

Wouldn't affect me, because I'd never work anywhere that used any form of chemical (alcohol/drug/etc) testing.

At my previous and current gigs we regularly have meetings starting at about four in the afternoon, held in a room full of sofas, at which copious quantities of beer and wine are provided by the company

It's the same manager in both places, and now his no-poaching period has expired, it's getting to be a lot of the same people

What is it with permies who leave things until the last minute on a Friday afternoon?

I don’t work on the weekend – so if you want something ‘for Monday morning’ is it my problem you’ve left it until 4:30 on a Friday to set the wheels in motion?

And I’ve already had my timesheet signed for this week (including this afternoon) so /beery burp in your face LOSER!

Cluestick, this is why contractors whould be legally obliged to carry a cluestick.
