    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.

    You seem very sensitive. Perhaps you're not cut out for contracting?

    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.

    I find the women who do the same bleedin' irritating.
