I worked at one clientco where the Engineering Directors secretary used to walk into the office demanding "Don't you lot have work to do?" if we made too much noise.

Just like being back at skool

I had quite a shock a few years ao when I did a German course. At reception on the first day I was bearing sarnies and a bottle of coke or whatever. I got a bollocking that food and drink weren't allowed into classrooms.

A different world...

You sound like my ideal woman! Move over, Wilmslow...

Current client co has both been quite good - most of the permies here you can have a decent chat with.

previous client co was the same, most of the permies were decent to chat too (there were a few fruitloops!), and there were a load of 'tractors amongst whom the banter was really good!

Most of my other contracts and permie jobs, I've always gotten on pretty well with most folks, and in my younger days working in city centre locations there was always good friday sessions after work.

This is the one thing I notice since going back contracting from being perm.

Maybe it's the run of contracts in the last 12 months with this site being the worse. For 4 weeks I have been stuck in an attic on my own. Nobody to talk to all day. Then off for a lonely lunch.

Sounds like one of my favorite gigs. Working on my own in an office known in the company as the "Crows Nest". No one to bother me or hassle me, just left to get on with it at my own pace. If I needed to talk to someone it was an excuse to go for a wander. Take coffee and lunch breaks when I felt like it, no-one watching when I arrived and left the office, as long as the work got done no-one cared. Bliss.

Miserable c*w

I certainly am!

My sis has been having a tough time at work and she was telling me how she was upset about something a week or so ago and then she thought, F it, no one likes CM in the office so I'll be more like her

I'm quite sociable. Head phoned IT geeks who cannot string a sentence together or offer a pleasant greeting are my pet hate.

Most people in IT have the personality of a damp lettuce and mannerisms of a serial killer.
