Nowhere to get hold of a prawn, it will have to be corned beef. Which also reflects the state of the overpriced canteen.Originally posted by realityhack View PostPrawn in aircon unit.
It's been a shocker of a 12 month stint. We have the psl agent helping the client to drive down the rates upon renewals, a little Hitler of a pm who has disallowed access to the internet for contractors only. I could go on. Oh and it was a crap rate as well.
Glad to be out of here.Comment

And get write the PM's mobile no. on cubicle walls at local cottaging hotspots. Give limited availability for phoning as the 15 minutes before each important weekly meeting. Offer appalling sevices.Last edited by Old Greg; 10 March 2011, 10:08.Comment

I was at an interview, where the PM was pulled out to go to another meeting to give a status. Thanks, but no thanks.
