    I agree with the op.

    Some of these shrill individuals are small minded geeky types who haven't got a clue what it's like to be climbing the walls with boredom.

    I'm only in this game for the money. I can just about stomach being sat in an office in the vicinity of fog horned mouthed women ( not unlike a female poster on here) if I'm actively engaged in an interesting project.

    The boredom that results from sSitting round with absolutely tap all to do is actually heightened by, as someone suggested, reading up on some new technology in which I don't actually have much interest because I'm not a geek.

      If you want money there are better jobs than IT, like law, medicine, banking.
      Only the best in our industry earn similar wages; they tend to be passionate about what they do.
      So you're doing a job you have no interest in for average money.
      That makes you a pitiable imbecile.

        I am not at all geeky - not a coder or anything technical but I fancied doing a bit of web design so it's a great opportunity at the moment to learn it at work while being paid.

        If that's not for you, fair enough. But have you no interest in reading anything at all? Novels? The news?

            Come on Sas, he's teed himself up perfectly for you... to blither on about how anything popular is for cretins, and how you exclusively read 1st editions from the 16th-18th century because you're such a pompously arrogant bore.

              There we are. And at £6 per hour and 1 page every 20 minutes, that's a great rate just for reading a book at work.

                Nice, I'll give you that one.

                On the rest of your post however, make the most of the money while you're getting it. It's not going to last long.
