Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Veggies
We had a party for his when my kid was 4 and we asked him if any were vegetarians.
"Yes" he replied
I then checked his answer asking "what do vegetarians do ?"
"They line up nicely"
He'd deduced this from the way school meals were run and his queue being told to line up nicely like the veggies.
One thing I also noticed was that food fetishism is best achieved by outsourcing.
Some kids have genuine issues, for instance I react to eggs in a way best compared to scenes from The Exorcist, but mostly it is superstition, defective education and pretention.
Where we know of a genuine issue, we take great pride in finding stuff they can eat (self popping popcorn with no coating if all else fails), but when kids outsource their child rearing to nannies etc the help is programmed to stop their kids eating all sorts of things , yet these "intolerances" disappear when the mothers are looking after the kids and have to do the dirty work themselves of explaining to a kid why he can't eat the stuff other party goers can.
Being me, I have taken some satisfaction in explaining to veggies what Quorn is made from, which to those that care makes anything else look good.My 12 year old is walking 26 miles for Cardiac Risk in the Young, you can sponsor him hereComment
