How bored can you be at work?

You have made a simple error of logic.

And he's a programmer too. But luckily he doesn't work in any safety/mission-critical systems.
Too mediocre for that.

You have made a simple error of logic.

1. You do not do the same as Sas.
2. Sas thinks you are an imbecile.

It does not however follow that Sas thinks that everyone who does not do the same as him is an imbecile.

I was making an empirical observation. Do you disagree with it?

Talking of mediocre, how about the logical leap Sas makes that because I think working hard and having a permie job are perfectly acceptable, I must be a poorly paid permie drone. He can't conceptualise the idea of approving of someone doing differently to him, and assumes everyone else thinks the same way.

I seem to recall Sas was a permie wage-slave only a couple of years ago, anyhow.

This country became great on the backs of hardworking people who took a pride in their work

This country is now in the tulip because too many people expect to do fook all and be paid

Now piss off you troll ( not you doohg)

No I ran a team of wage-slaves, on a 6-figure salary.
That was a good role for building up my pension through free company contributions

It's a nice sunny day - I'm going to sit on the patio and have a nice ice-cold lemonade.
I'm still billing though, my contract essentially is on-call consultancy, and at the moment I have nothing much to do.
Enjoy your low-level, soon-to-be bobbed, commoditised, 9-5 coding work.

HTH, BIDI.

I don't do low-level coding and I don't work 9-5. I very deliberately designed myself a life where I am a work-from-home contractor with about 3 days' work a week so that I could focus on building a business and NOT be a wage slave. I got to that point about 5 years before you did.

Oh and I also didn't have to go back to work after I retired because my life was so empty without work to fill it.

Not really. I've been doing this lark for > 20 years.
Occasionally I have taken a permie job when I need skills improvement/contact building/pension top up.
My last permie job involved even more free time than now and paid (taking pension, paid holiday etc into account) about the same as your average contractor.

Of course I disagree.

Nobody does exactly the same as Sas. Sas does not think that everyone apart from him is an imbecile.

You're only confusing him. Logic isn't his strong point.
