I'm sure that has to be illegal, Sleeps. It certainly sucks. Most employers are always looking for their pound of flesh, eh? You're not a tool at all - we just have limited options and have to suck it up sometimes, unfortunately.
Hi Drops. It's shaking well in some ways and not so well in others. I'm afraid I'm still plagued by that cursed procrastination problem. I read elsewhere that you are too, by the sounds of it. Why do we insist on sabotaging our own asses?! Forcing myself to attend to a couple of things right now - tax return being one of them. I have a pathological hatred of forms and paperwork. I'd much rather go to the dentist :-/
