Very polite post btwOriginally posted by kfrycholc View PostDear Members,
I'm quite interested to know what types of stereotypes about contractors you would like to end. Is there any particular one that you cannot stand?
Thanks a lot, hope you all have a great weekend

I hate the assumption that we're all treckies and its just not true, some of us are Whovians
Anyway geeky = sexy in my book
I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
