      Cue mention of a permie a decade ago. Clientco was quite happy to let us build up overtime hours during the year to balance time off for holidays, but this particular permie would get us after 6 in the evening with the same old tales of that Intel chip he worked with many years ago, to the point we'd regularly escape earlier than planned.

      He cost us money, but compared with the idea of lamping him (immediate termination of contract) or ending up in the funny farm, it was money well spent (or strictly speaking not earned).

        I can't help but imagine NewGirl to be of the Miranda type, a big jolly blunderfoot of a gal!

            It's really very funny, IMO. I enjoyed the last series

              Does she come from Surrey, yah?
