    Enough about milk, there's no sugar in my ClientCo's kitchen at the moment. This is a CRISIS!

    Apparently stuff gets regularly nicked from the fridge here.

    I might try lacing some milk with anthrax and seeing what happens.

    I don't know but maybe it's a euphemism.

    I'm pretty sure there's an HMRC dob-a-contractor line set up for precisely this scenario.

    And find somebody's written "So have I" on it

    Good gracious me, solid gold, surely.
    Don't want the permy low-lives scraping it off and selling it. The money they make might empower them to leave their tulipty jobs and compete with us as contractors!

    FFS, you are a contractor, buy your own forchrissakes, from free range, champagne and lobster drinking Norsk rødt fe cows milked tenderly by naked Norwegian fair maidens using their Molton Brown scented hands, gingerly caressing their sensitive udders, smoothly bottled without pasteurisation and sealed with a Scandinavian kiss.

    we had one of those at a clientco, they hadn't supplied one because there were few permies there.

    when we left I took it with me. the permies who had been using it and the incomers were most upset. Teach them for outsourcing to ICTs.

    I like working with good people its refreshing. Many of those are contractors
