QUESTION 1: Should one be usings ones employers equipment for recreational purposes ?

QUESTION 2: Which word im my post above would be likely to trigger a works filter ? I have a very valid reason for asking this question, which I MAY elaborate on.

I'm right by Marleybone...
(I bet this gets censored....................... !)

Isn't that when a character from Dickens 'Christmas Carol' gets an erection, young Plum ??

Or it could be a result of Rastaman Vibration......

Well, it's one way to get promoted, I suppose!

I see your Question 1 and raise you another question

Should one's employer keep one at work beyond one's contracted hours without time off in lieu nor overtime? I see it as a give and take thing - so long as I get the work done and am accommodating when the sh!t hits the fan and then have to work late (i.e. 2030hrs last Friday), I think they can be accommodating when it's quiet. Plus the last reply was in my lunch break. This is my afternoon tea break.

It is, or should be, a give and take thing. Is this related to your planned Thursday drinking, then?

Answer to QUESTION ONE: No. But then I belonged to a very good Union, so the matter never arose !

Only 2030 hrs - don't you do ghosting lady (well, I assume that you're one despite your eddicashun)?

Give and take? Of course, you give and they take. What did you expect? democracy? (Gorrrrr. kids these days don't know they's been born)

As for using your employer's equipment, you might be in your lunch break (you mean they allow you longer than the time it takes to get sarnie from desk to gob?) don't forget that you are hitting keys which will wear out and have to be replaced, you are using electricity for which your employer has to pay, you are clogging up bandwidth, you are getting ideas above your station (ie. that you are entitled to more consideration than any other slave) and you are expressing ideas which your employer has not expressly approved in advance.
Guily , guilty, guilty on all counts and your punishment will be .............

...punishment will be another year of working here....

Perhaps I could invoice them back for the times when my husband has had to fend for himself because the wife wasn't there to cook his dinner... His time gets charged out at Â£250 an hour usually.

Actually - I get it better than him - I'm lucky if he's home before 2100 most nights and midnight at busier times. Such are the joys of being a coporate city wife.

But then he does get Â£150 and hour.

I worked for an estate agency and nearly got my cards becasue I had been on the BBC weather website. I told the manager that one of our clients needed to know the weather for moving day.

I should have covered my tracks better. He was the type who made the people on Space Cadets look on the ball.

Well, who (from the forum) is actually going to this carol service, then?

Plum and J.T. will be in the choir, I'll be there with a Hertford Old Blue I'm dragging along........
