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...

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

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.
