No. But it means your chance of being sacked by a grumpy, anti-social, miserable, short-tempered, probably-pointy-haired-boss for being caught posting on CUK is very, very small.Originally posted by MayContainNuts View PostDoes that mean I'm worthless until 500 posts!?!
Not that anyone would sack someone for posting on CUK, would they ... ?

I've told this story before but...Originally posted by Sysman View PostPaperless office = nowt to scribble on?
Back in the day we could have used the back of a fag packet...
Many years ago, at my first job at a software house, I pinned a packet of Rizlas to the kitchen noticeboard and labelled it "Program Spec Forms. Please Help Yourself."
A little while later I returned and saw someone had crossed out "Program" and written "System".
And most of the fag papers had been taken.

Well when you lot all posting away tonight I'm off for a curry with a group of people I got into contracting over the years.
Obviously I don't expect to
pay but in a group of 5 contractors on £500 per day it will be interesting to see who puts their hand in their pocket last!What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
