Default the downsides to self employment

no one to makeyou a cup of tea (no one seemed to notice that i never made any)

no surprise treats in the kitchen

no stationery cupboard to raid (i compared prices on staplers the other day )

no one to pop to the shops to get you your lunch

no flexi time off

no eyeing up visitors

no gossiping when you just cant be @rsed

and worst of all, no one to fix the paper jam

Here's a few on the upside...

Bit more cash

No one telling you what time to arrive and leave.



You did miss some downsides though...

No holiday pay.

No "I'm ill, honest guv, give me a days sick money" After a night on the p!ss.

Thought you was lol

With the printer, when it says "don't pull the paper out, dismantle the back somehow," it actually means "Yank the **** out the bar$tard until its sorted"

It had me stumped for abit

Certainly £1.50 a copy. Do you want next months Gay Bonanza magazine too?

There is an article on how to pierce your bum cheeks for that maximum close together look.
