Reply to: Do you reward yourself for contract extensions?

To answer the question - yes, I have a LOT of handbags, and shoes

That monitor looks very nice. 2 reviews on Amazon, a 5* and a 1*, what to make of that

[EternalOptimist]

I do
because an extension is like a pay rise because you don't have to spend bench time looking for a job.

I normally splash out on an extra big piece of stinky blue cheese to go with my cheese and crackers, as opposed to a normal sized piece

Do you reward yourself for contract extensions?

No.

If your contract gets canned early, are you going to smash the reward that you've bought?

[MyUserName]

I bought a set of these once to celebrate an extension. Although I probably would have bought them anyway because they are beautiful!

[TheFaQQer]

Isn't circumventing the profanity filter a bannable offense?

Not in General, specifically.

And offence

[MarillionFan]

I used to reward myself with a new suit each time. That's right, I dressed to impress when I contracted.

Now my wardrobe looks like a rack at Burtons with sizes all they way up for somebody no longer my size.

I normally have a pot noodle and a wink to celebrate in my contractor lodgings (Travelodge alongside the M4).


I say live a little - go and buy the new toy.

I've done well and even negotiate a tiny increase on contract extension.
I'm thinking of getting this LG 34UM95 screen, which will, as a side effect also boost my productivity.
Any thoughts, should I save for a rainy day instead?

IWOOT!

Is it a PC screen or a TV screen? (Probably doesn't make much difference)

[yasockie]

The screen, pot noodles and a wink it is then!

[Project Monkey]

Unless you currently have no monitor, a pot noodle will boost your productivity more than a larger screen.

So would a quick wink to help you concentrate

It's only £600 on Amazon - that's what, a day or two's work? Get to it!
