One place I contracted at, the seat I was given was so disgusting I thought somebody had died in it and nobody had noticed the corpse for a few months. Quietly swapped it for another vacant one.

Not if I can avoid it. I like my break to be a break, even when my regular day is doing sweet feck all. Historically there was no way I'd be guaranteed to eat my lunch if I was that easy to find and it's often the only time I can read in peace.

5) If the answer to 4 was a yes, did you go round and comfort her, during this distressing time of need?
