I've got a mug that says I'm the greatest.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 JohnsonComment

The best one I had was:-
"You can't take your paternity leave until the DAY the baby is born, this is the law we've checked it out, and it has to be taken all in one go".
Ok, well I'll just take some contractor absence instead then and if you don't like it you can instigate clause x.x to give me 4 weeks notice.
(This actually happened I kid you not).
Sorry, you are my client, not my boss, my manager, or any other honorary title you wish to give yourself in your fictional heirarchy.The cycle of life: born > learn > work > learn > dead.Comment

Are you a contractor?
And no… I’m a disguised employee according to the government.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 JohnsonComment

I tell the client the days that I'm unavailable as far in advance as possible, so that they can plan accordingly.Comment

"Are you coming to the Christmas do?"
"It's a great place to work. If you work hard you might be able to apply for a proper job here"
"How do I go about being a Contractor? But what about my mortgage payments and kids?"
"You should get your pass and sign on soon, in the meantime just read these documents"Comment
