        How come you AV says 'GreatestOfDads'?

        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 Johnson

          Are you a contractor?

            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 guy who's in charge of the department, notice I called him 'The boss' and not 'My boss' ...what should I call him then??

              And no… I’m a disguised employee according to the government.

                Does that not strike you as a touch unprofessional?

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