    Nope I get paid a salary so no overtime. To be fair if I had spent less time on MSE last week I might only have needed to work until midnight!:rolleyes:

    I hope you are not suggesting that we are, in any way, responsible for your inability to produce your work on time. :confused::confused:

    only joking. :o:o

    BUMP

    I am definitely less productive since finding MSE and yes I hold you all responsible for being so fun and alluring (although not in that way!:o)

    Tixy - a salary covers you for your work from 9-5 Monday to Friday it doesnt cover you for weekend work especially Sundays which are paid double time:D

    Don't blame us..we haven't lured you away from your work - you're just nosey and hate missing out on the fun:eek::rotfl: I am not working this afternoon because I can't be bothered so I am doing something else instead.

    Nargle - I cannot claim the trip as a business expense because I have to pay for it from my own money and I don't think that the tax man would allow me such an expense for my business:eek:

    Yep, your luck's changing now Numpty.....:D:D

    Found any hidden treasures Rog ? :D:D

    Mine is an all inclusive salary. Basically the junior staff get overtime but low pay, then once you are qualified you get a hefty rise but no more overtime. And I don't really mind putting the hours in- I like to give our clients good service.

    You are right though H - I am nosey, I don't like to miss out on the fun. Even when I was working yesterday I had to have a 5min break every couple of hours to come and see whats happening - and when its quiet on the boards you've got to make sure someone is welcoming the newbies and staying on troll patrol!

    I heard about the bin strike on the local news this morning and thought of you numpty.

    H - maybe you could go on the trip to europe and at the same time set up a meeting with someone over there with regards to your rock band doing a performance - therefore necessary for business ;) class it as marketing

    I found a treasure.....
    ...... it was smiling back at me from my mirror!!:D:D

    Now why didnt I think of that Tixy?:D There's nowt like being nosey - I am terribly nosey and like to know whats going on..I hate the thought that I could be missing out on something.

    Numpty..it stands to reason that the bin men have gone back to work, its coming up to Christmas and they usually ask their customers for a handout..if they stayed on strike they would miss their 'christmas box' - call me a cynic if you want.
