Should I :

a) watch the football on the telly; or

b) do the work I brought home and promised a client faithfully that I would do today "without fail".

(And does it make a difference if I say that I've got a fridge full of beer so there's not much chance of me doing both.)

    How long will it take you to do the work, and what's on? I'd say get as much done as you can til the end of half time, then watch the second half. Or use the beer as an incentive to get the work finished.

    How important is your word? How important is your client?

    Do the work pissed whilst watching the footie problem solved, go back over it in the cafe during a full English and correct your spelling with egg yolk and bean juice

    Cheers fellas.

    The work will take ages - a good few hours I reckon. The missus can't do it because it doesn't involve spending money. The client is not massively important, but my word is - so they kinda cancel each other out to a large degree.

    At the moment NLA's idea is sounding favourite - particularly as the game is now 20 mins old and I've got a beer on the go and my laptop open.

    I mean, I promised them I'd do it. Didn't say anything about it being any good though, did I?

    Surely the first thing you should be thinking about is cracking one off.

    [cite]Posted By: Off_it[/cite]I took NLA's advice in the end and was "suspended, with a view to dismissal" today for professional negligence.

    Still, the beers were nice.

    You could always ask NLA for a job as he is "on the way up".
