i wonder..

It’s alright. Get yourself a cuppa, read a few CUK posts, check your hotmail and then go for a tulip and you’ll be back to normal in about half an hour.

Are you spying on me?

Cuppa in hand, on CUK, just checked mail. Hmm. What's next?

Probably. Anyone who's read this book knows that 'presenteeism' is pretty much the norm in large organisations. If you're going to be bored out your mind, make sure you make some money out of it.

I find it interesting how the first two reviews of 'The Living Dead' are by thisiswiltshire.co.uk and the Swindon Advertiser. I did once have a half hour kip under a desk in a Swindon office (I was young), so I can understand why.

It sounds like you are all working quite hard. My career OTOH has been a long sojourn in a various 'Internet cafes'.

My trick is to send a group email every few days (when I can be bothered). I like to write a polite rant about something that isn't important, emphasise the effort I will need to sort it out, and be sure to cc the boss. Job done, I make a cup of tea and get back to CUK.

It's not just about bad management. It's also that we do in half an hour the work that a permie does in eight. So if we only do two hours work in the day, that's still value for money. I've occassionally done three, but had to have a lie down when I got home...

I'm very happy at the mo as Ive had a few ongoing projects to perform and also ongoing support to attend to - the upshot is that before you know it - the Working Day is over - and the weeks seem to fly by.

Jings - its March already !!!

When I look back Ive never been able to get a gig that involved doing next to nowt - not that I mind - I wouldnt be very good at adopting an artifical sense of urgency.
