    Gosh, I'd gotten to the point where I thought you were dictating the soundtracks to them. Nice of you to allow them such latitude.

    Dinnae want to mention to be honest cos a court case resulted in the first but settled without litigation going all the way. The second was a collaboration and the third will be my first score all on my lonesome.

    Guaranteed you'll have seen the movies and / or heard the music.

    Sorry to be so vague.

    started a topic Me on Annual Leave for a week...

    Me on Annual Leave for a week...

    Yes, I'm a Permie (well, near enough, as long as the client needs my employer, a managed service company, which is until June, they need my services). I've never even SEEN my head office. The client INTERVIEWED me. The client is the only workplace I know.

    Now, for the next week, NONE of you are going to be able to equal my ratio of earnings to hours worked...becuase you can't top (my net weekly salary/zero hours worked =Infinity).



    Ok, the unemployed math's bods amongst you, I'm sure, are going to come back with (zero/zero = infinity)

    I await the barrage of insults, smart-ass commentary, cries of "You're no contractor, son, I get 26 weeks holiday!" and general inanity that is this forum. You're right, and it's YOU I envy for raking in more than 5k a month after tax when you do work.

    But ya know what? Tis all good, BRING it. I'll be getting paid, and layin' in the shade, sippin' a glass of lemonade, while you are all sweating your nuts(or knockers, even more gratifyingly) off over a keyboard.

    Seriously though now...good luck to you all.

    So, how shall I spend next week?

    Hitting the weights?

    Hitting the pub on what would otherwise be a school night?

    Getting some cardio in?

    Learning how to spreadbet the markets?

    Catching up on all three seasons of 'Lie To Me'?

    Reading my line manager's only book?

    Trying new omelette recipes?

    Sleeping till 3pm?

    Avoiding CUK?

    How about...


    ALL OF THE ABOVE!

Working...
