    I know how you feel : this week I am sitting on the trading floor so will not be posting......
    Do the traders not mind? Has anyone tripped over you yet?

She's a permie and a true company type who never uses the computer for personal reasons (I've had a nosey at her monitor).

        Anyone got any good strategies for browsing and posting to CUK under such circumstances?
        Every time you want to post, drag her into the sationary cupboard and shag her senceless, then post while she sleeps it off.

          That could turn out expensive. Ask Boris Becker.

            Wear a big overcoat. When you want to post, stand up in your cubicle and open your coat so as to obscure the view of the monitor, and sing a song "la la la, nothing to see here, soooo very busy, la la la".

            It is hot today so I would suggest going au natural under the coat, and at least then you would have something to type with.

                  Shout stop copying in a childs voice and put your arm up to block her view.

                  She will soon stop. If she doesn't piss your pants and start to cry. She will move soon enough
                  Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                  I preferred version 1!
