Betcha he has some porn on it tucked away somewhere.Originally posted by Dallas View PostSabotaging my ClientCos PC, he is so old school, a bit pervy and always hungover. ...
I once got a contract at a small clientco after a permie there was sacked for being found with borderline kiddie porn on his work laptop. Unbelievable that anyone could be so stupid. (It almost broke his boss's heart as the guy was so useful; the boss was very reluctant to let him go, but his co-workers threatened to walk out if he wasn't sacked.)

He spends 30 mins pressing buttons swearing, then on phone to help desk - an hour later he'll finally get setup for the day then proceed to be grumpy with everyone.

Seriously I find nowadays I'm calming down, maybe the hair loss is helping with testosterone overload.

The smile the wife gives me when she knows she has been found out (no nothing naughty) just the smile you give to your partner when you realise you have been mildly stupid/greedy/selfish and been caught.
The cat deigning to acknowledge me.
