Originally posted by Pondlife View PostI thought I was getting lined up for being replaced so I put in to play Operation Coffee and Cake.
Arranged a false meeting with the head honcho off site to get him out of the picture and then waited for the new guy to turn up.
Fed him some bollux about them not paying yada yada yada over at the local Costa where he stumped up for a latte and a muffin.
I fancy a pub lunch tomorrow so I've sent him a text saying they want to see him again.
And the best bit is they've had to up my rate and extend me through to next year.
