      I have sat next to quite a few guys with a full complement of arms and legs and still didn't get much done.

            On the last contract was seated in an office with a chap who'd suddenly jump up shouting and swearing at his computer physically waving his arms around or banging the desk or throw some papers about. To the point that I thought he was about to pick up the computer and throw it out the window - first floor office. Very scary at first, thought he was a sarnie short of picnic, but eventually became a bit of a joke with the other blokes there.

              I have a whistler, a hummer and an indian girl who appears to be chanting in a low voice - all flippin day. We also have a cackling witch who comes in the office once a day - what a merry band we are.

                In my last contract I sat next to a guy who played Flight Sim with a bowl of pasta in his lap, another guy who would have a wank into the curtains and yet another whos shoes always smelt of piss!

                  How did you get a job as a sandbag? I presume that was his profession.

                  At boots they had a guy like that who had a drum stick with a rubber thing stuck to the end in his mouth and that's how he typed. He was quite quick but must have gone home with a sore neck after a lot of typing. Poor sod couldn't even rub it better!
                  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!

                    My computer is sentient, if I don't engage it in dialogue it gets very uncooperative. I thought all computers were sentient.

                      We had a guy with OCD, kept cleaning his coffee cup and his hands were red raw with constant scrubbing. He'd write little notes to himself saying 'My cup is DEFINATELY clean, I've checked, I must not check again'

                      We tried to send him over the edge by hiding his cup but it didn't really work, or maybe it did, he left and claimed constructive dismissal!

                      Where's my cup gone?
