I worked with a bod who would look you in the eye and say in a deadpan voice: "you f'coffee".

It always took a little while to realise it meant he thought it was his turn to go to the tea-bar.

But there was something in the way that he said it that suggested he did not enjoy his work.

He might say that now but you will forever more get tuts and looks when you leave the office at 3pm and will be known as The Shirker over the coffee machine chat.

Your annual performance appraisals and salary rises will also match.

Don't do it.

Just waiting to see what the money on the table is.

If would not cover my travel, then would push for a car.

Failing that, looks like a fond farewell to another client as could be hard to stay on contracting if I refuse a permie offer.

Could be an interesting week......
