It could be a lot worse, an occasional smell of a whore rather than listening to them talking non stop in a loud annoying voice all day, about what their stupid chav named children did the day before.

3 weeks one time sans Desk, PC OR id. Had been benched for 5 months before so bailing till they sorted it was not an option.
Spent a lot of time and money in on-site Starbucks and struggled to break that habit when the kit finally arrived....

Just be glad you got a desk. At my second contract they didn't get me a desk until the third week, and then I had to stand there watching the project manager unpack it, try to decipher the instructions, and assemble the damn thing
I was quite pleased that they managed to get a computer to go with it just before I headed back to my hotel at teatime

I know some guys (pimps) who do that as well and or some reason their voice goes up an octave when they do it.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostThe missus does that, it must be a woman's thing. Men start a conversation with a grunt and end with a grunt. REAL MEN say nothing in between. (Unless it's a grunt)
I find the women who do the same bleedin' irritating.
