Originally posted by LucyIt is really strange too, how some permies act as though they are nailed to their desks and if they got off their backsides they couldn't go and get a contract. They just seem to get envious and spiteful toward those who do.

Originally posted by alreadypackedI had a look at the web site of the new job, there seems to be two sorts. Hair gel or ex city boring old farts, so CUK guys couldn't be worse. But they all married or have gf, and in some cases more than 1.
They're not all attached I dont think. Get it organised man - shy bairns get nowt as they say round my parts

Originally posted by Bagpussthat just about sums it up in a nutshell. Last place i had a good craic with my colleagues, but then again 90% of the department were contractors. Here 90% are permie and the money envy is bubbling below the surface, I'm having to watch myself.

Originally posted by alreadypackedNot sure if I qualify as normal, I contract because I want to take months at a time off. Can't really do that in a permie job. I think you need to decide what you want first. Career, promotion, friends at work or freedom, money and the jobs no one else wants.
Anyway I on the normality issue I was of course referring to the attention seeking, bunny boiling, psycho nymphet.
