No we contract so we can work when and where we like without having to climb any greasy poles, kiss anyones arse for a payrise or worry about office politics. Oh, and we earn more too ^^"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife. -

when I were a lad there was a real class divide ! My dad 'knew his place' and my mums greatest ambition was that I joined 'a profession'. When I formed my ltd company she walked around like Hyacinth Bucket for a month
