Do you like to feed the permies?

[KentPhilip]

At least once a week I like to fetch a box of chocolates or some cakes or fruit or other nibbles for the permanent staff to eat during the afternoon. It gives me such a sense of satisfaction to place the bait - er food out on the centre table and watch them all come flocking in like birds to feed on the scraps, and occasionally scuffle amongst themselves for the best morcels (m&m's cause the most fights).
It is good to feel that as a contractor unencumbered with a mortgage that I have the free cash to pay for these treats, and give those wage slaves something that their other-halves would never allow them to have on their own...

You could always put a wee webcam close by so we could watch the fun ...

I buy these monstrous tubs of mixtures, and a small bag of ghanaian boiled ginger sweets. Mix them in. Give them to the permies.

Oh what fun when one of them gets the ginger.

They never learn.

I think that's quite a specialist website

Mrs BP cooks for the permies once every 7 weeks. And is doing so this Friday as a special end of term treat.

I started of doing that once every few weeks, but it then went to once every empty box, until the last week of my contract. Took them out for lunch a week before I left and bought them a £40 M&S gift voucher. I spoiled them too much.
