Do you like to feed the permies?

[VectraMan]

Permies are always bringing in food (birthday cake and mince pies today). I make sure I eat as much as I can as a way of making up for the lousy rate.

[Old Greg]

I feed them to the lions.

At least once a week I like to fetch a box of chocolates or some cakes or fruit or other nibbles for the permanent staff to eat during the afternoon. It gives me such a sense of satisfaction to place the bait - er food out on the centre table and watch them all come flocking in like birds to feed on the scraps, and occasionally scuffle amongst themselves for the best morcels (m&m's cause the most fights).
It is good to feel that as a contractor unencumbered with a mortgage that I have the free cash to pay for these treats, and give those wage slaves something that their other-halves would never allow them to have on their own...

I started of doing that once every few weeks, but it then went to once every empty box, until the last week of my contract. Took them out for lunch a week before I left and bought them a £40 M&S gift voucher. I spoiled them too much.

Mrs BP cooks for the permies once every 7 weeks. And is doing so this Friday as a special end of term treat.

I think that's quite a specialist website

I buy these monstrous tubs of mixtures, and a small bag of ghanaian boiled ginger sweets. Mix them in. Give them to the permies.

Oh what fun when one of them gets the ginger.

They never learn.

You could always put a wee webcam close by so we could watch the fun ...
