Reply to: It's Monday. How do you feel about it?

95% of CUK doesn't make sense to me! Did the expression "I've got a letter from my Mum" not get used when you were at school?

The 'suck' expression is to Merkin for my spleen. And unless aNDYw's Mum is a doctor, shirley she can't issue sick notes?

Not really. I'm beyond caring now!

Yes, but I never had a note from someone else's (AndyW's) Mum!

Sick note is a pretty generic term, used to refer to notes from parents too AFAIK.

That's the point, you having a letter from AndyW's Mum doesn't make sense.

'I got a sick note from AndyW's Mum, Mondays suck!' or similar would make more sense.

I also believe it is written 'Andyw' going by a previous discussion.

I didn't forget it. I totally disregarded it. I didn't realise CUK was where the coffin dodgers hung out.

Oh dear. I didn't think I'd need to explain that one.

People that still go to work sometimes don't want to. AndyW is soon to start doing his GCSEs (apparently) so to not go in on a Monday, he needs a letter from his Mum. To make that relevant in the first person for the context of the poll, you need the letter from his Mum.

You forgot the retired option.

10 points for the comprehensive options, though I'll have to deduct 2 for the slightly random Andyw one, letter from his Mum?

I'm with the Lone Gunman, after 2 years of contracting and suffering rate drops in the recession I'm pretty much decided I should be chasing a £75,000ish permie Head of IT/Director position and not worry about accountants/invoicing/alienation etc.

In a way I'd be happy to go back to the days of reading Computer Weekly on the bog and having a relatively stress free existence surfing the T'Internet, even at the cost of being drawn back into company bulltulip with politics etc. ...

I feel great as pakistan won the 2020 final last night.

You forgot the retired option. I have already consulted my solicitor about this further outrageous example of age discrimination.

One should force oneself to feel guilty about not working on a Monday. Enjoying time off is just not British.

So does that mean you're just a grumpy old pensioner and not a contractor at all? Reading the Daily Wail and moaning on here because they've thrown you out of the Library and the Bingo isn't open yet?

I've never been grumpy in my life as I enjoy life too much for that. I would contract again if the circumstances were right, but I am just not going to spend my valuable time every day looking for jobs that simply do not exist, or competing for work paying a pittance. I will bide my time until the market picks up.

My friend died three weeks ago from breast cancer after never having one retirement day at the grand old age of 48. Don't knock it !!

Sincere condolences

[RichardCranium]

Where's the 'another wonderful warm sunny retirement day' option ?

Another day closer to death

Where's the "It's my first week off since February and I'm really looking forward to the conference later in the week although I'm a bit concerned about what the garage might find to be troubling the nearside rear suspension when I take the car in tomorrow" option?

You only get 15 options and that was option number 843.

I used to work

Me too. Didn't do me any good though.
