Mixing leisure with work

[Clippy]

Send him a Facebook friends invite.

[moorfield]

Post a fake cv on the boards with his name and his boss's direct line.

My psychiatrist recently recommended that i try and connect more with friends and family, after a few years contracting I was starting to feel a bit isolated.
Anyway, I try and make a few calls during the day, catch up with friends and talk to some normal, nonwork, human beings.

Unfortunately the contractor I sit with seems to take great exception to this, always sits there glowering at me.

Without resorting to pissing on his shoes... how can I get him on side?


[edit] PM says he's not being renewed so looks like the problem has sorted itself out

The mists suddenly clear.

I thought we need a thread to vent. Well I do anyway. I'm in the contractor corner with one other guy. This guy comes in spends at least 4 hours every single f**kin day making private calls, no exageration, friends, family he even puts together conf calls with all his mates and sits there talking, laughing. Puts down the phone, waits, oh, 10seconds, another call. All day. Bizarre. Manager doesn't notice. I am so tempted to grass him up. I think if he gets a contract extension (probably not) I will.

Is this you???

Quality

I wouldn't rule out the shoes option too early though

Be professional and take your personal calls away from people trying to do some actual work?

Go and make you calls away from him... Problem solved..

Sabotage

Or just punch the git

[zara_backdog]

Invite him in on the conference calls if he takes of his headset!

[basshead]

Buy him some headphones.
