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! -
After 16:00 is out. I like to get in early, and get the job done.
Generally them that likes to organise meetings after 16:00 are them that can't get up in the morning.
I like meetings at 08:00 or 09:00, as the attendees are doers, not talkers.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

That tulipted him up for starters. Then I put two snooker balls in a sock and got behind him in the loo and smashed him on the side of the head.
As he lay bleeding and writhing on the bog-floor, I screamed in his lug hole, 'who's the fkng permie daddy then'
that learned him

It's just not the done thing to schedule a meeting during the luncheon period.
If I was the boss and any of my staff pulled that sort of stunt, I'd have words.
Wilmslow overlooks the fact that meeetings tend to overrun (especially with him running them I imagine), and by 1pm the pies and chips tend to underrun, and they often stop serving at 1:30pm.
Also, getting to the canteen at 12pm sharp means shorter queues and more tables.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

How about you ask the no show guy to arrange the next meeting.
Then you can all decide if you want to turn up or not.
