Ok, I'll see if my local one does the jab. It's not worth my while for time and petrol to go into Ipswich to get it done, if I can get it done in Felixstowe

We argued for it to be paid by the business a few years ago. Corporate jabs are £8 in Boots and are cheaper than the risk of even only a couple of us being off with flu.

spreading ignorance is no excuse .. just read up and overcome your own rather than using it as an excuse for others.

Day one of launching a whole new bunch of systems and working practices. By 10am we already had someone trying to prove how they won't work - not bad- they give the systems almost an hour to bed in. Then I found they started planning the failure the day before.

Yes, bit of course it wasn't their fault. The instructions weren't clear. Tosh!

And today's gripe. Office moaners.
They got to me so i decided to leave early before I exploded.
"Someone else has moved their desk" "the fridge has moved" "my computer won't work but it's not my job to phone IT" and the best of the lot (considering I'm the client and this was said by the contract manager of the successful contractor) "this contract will never work" (said repeatedly)
