Breakfast at desk

[sasguru]

No sh*t.

Of course I couldn't do that as I can't use the canteen because I can't be seen to be part and parcel of the organisation for IR35 purposes...

Yeah because Hector sent someone to spy specifically on you, you complete doofus
I don't think HMRC are that bothered by you evading tx on your crap rate.

It always amazes me how people rock up at the time they are supposed to start work drop their bag fire up their PC then clear off out to costas, starbucks, surely they should get one on the way in and be at their desk ready to work.

Quite. Low level support monkeys should be ready to take calls at 9.

I have my breakfast at my desk every day. Usually in by 8:20 though and well before 99% of permies who come in at 9:30 then spend the next hour having breakfast, waffling about the utter dross they did from going home last night to coming in today then maybe looking at their emails for a couple of minutes before going for a brew/smoke break.

My timesheet says I start at 8:30 once I've finished my breakfast.

only on a friday and then only if i'm in the office!

I try and deliver quality work and not focus on working an arbitrary amount of hours.

In fact if I can work less while delivering what is needed all the better.

So I'm with the guys chomping away at their desks. Have a tulip on their time not yours.

Its okay for you youngsters. Wait until you get to my age and have children.

I used to love getting a Subway egg&sausage on the walk from train<--->office. I think driving out from work to get a coffee is taking the mick though.

Nothing wrong with dining al desko. I snack more or less continuously. Sandwiches & filled croissants (or Brez'n with ham and soft cheese when in DE) for first and second breakfast, then pop out for lunch around two, perhaps a takeaway curry or sit in a restaurant if I'm feeling bored then an afternoon snack a bit later.

Are you a large man, Doodab?
