Reply to: what % of time......

[timh]

The answer is to bring a PortaLoo(TM) along, like any proper contractor.

I like to work at least 60% of the time, to maintain the 'edge' discussed further up. A few years ago I went perm for 18 months, and worked for an average of 2 hours a week - needed a long time to get by brain working again after that!

Im partial to knocking one out at work when it's a bit boring. The disabled loos are best.

Yeah, but you do it over the disabled person

Is poo time tax deductable?

One word of warning: going to the toilet is something permies do, so you could be inside IR35, if the IR take fingerprints off the flush handle or taps (which they probably won't bother checking for, as they scour this site for potential victims to send the clipboard lady to, and now know that most of you don't bother washing your hands). My advice is to best hold it in until you are safely offsite or at home.

Eh?!!! I've never understood this. Surely you need a tulip, so you go and you have one? Why would that take any longer than 30 seconds?!

I think you're giving away a little too much info about your private life, SA!!

Well thats what I always thought (or possibly for a w*nk)...but he seemed to be saying that it physically took him 15 minutes?

Is this another one of them bloke things that people never tell you? (like yous also have up to 4 a day!)

Nobody I know takes 15 minutes to have a wink Sally.

Unless you are having 40 winks of course !

You might not know this Sally - but many men go the lavatory not just to perform their ablutions - but also as a kind of refuge or escape from the workpalce - or at home from the nagging wife kids etc - its the one place they actually get some kind of privacy.

Think of it as a kind of meditation.

75-80% work, although VERY SLOW today.

Hoping for an upturn next week...

This is a great way to beat the censors! Start off by discussing something serious, then end up talking about bog times...and it stays in 'General'.
Sorted!

It takes you an hr to have a crap??? I average about 15mins so £20 is a good benchmark

[Burdock]

I always endeavour to get my poos on my timesheet.

In an accounting sense, or a physical sense?

[SallyAnne]

I have jacked in my current gig, highest rate for ages, because there is not enough to do. As a contractor my edge is to be able to work hard, fast and accurate. If I cant keep practicing that then I am offski.

I reckon I wont slow down till I'm about 61

Just a couple of months to go then

I don't put my arse on the toliet for anything less then £25.

[ChimpMaster]

Anyone posting on this forum obviously doesn't have enough work to do. I do about 1 hour a day myself. I actually enjoy those days where I'm busy and have worked the whole day and not fraternised on the net.

When I started here it was busy but now it's just tick-tock until my 8 hours are up. Have felt my skills suffer but I know I'll bounce back after.
