Nah, she works hard enough but also uses words like 'synergy' and 'energy' and 'space' (as in 'this is a great space, yah?')

Does she come from Surrey, yah?

I couldn't cope with more than 45 seconds of that.

It's really very funny, IMO. I enjoyed the last series

You're working with Miranda?

I can't help but imagine NewGirl to be of the Miranda type, a big jolly blunderfoot of a gal!

Cue mention of a permie a decade ago. Clientco was quite happy to let us build up overtime hours during the year to balance time off for holidays, but this particular permie would get us after 6 in the evening with the same old tales of that Intel chip he worked with many years ago, to the point we'd regularly escape earlier than planned.

He cost us money, but compared with the idea of lamping him (immediate termination of contract) or ending up in the funny farm, it was money well spent (or strictly speaking not earned).

One of my exes used to call her pussy her "space", but she was a graphic designer.

Was it at about that time that you started getting those mysterious penis extension emails?

Argh. She does that. She's always trying to 'ADD VALUE' by 'STREAMLINING' stuff, like at her old place.

However, I would pay rapt attention if she was saucy and holding a flute!

You know after today every other sentence will start "Tom said"

I haven't kept count. There have only been a few significant ones, punctuated with bouts of mansluttery.

Yeah, same here. Bit like contracting. Keep your skills current, but don't put potential clients off by having too many short duration stints on your CV.

[doodab]

From the examples given on here in the past, that's a long list, care to put a number on it?
