Sadly not; get paid by BACS.
I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't need the money. I'm very very overdrawn :( It's quite nice to sit and work with music on and with a cup of tea (no music allowed in the office).

Does that also include iPods
(or Walkmans for those feeling Retro)?

Yes, it does - it's in our office rules that no one may break.
Something about being one team.

We also have a big flatscreen TV
that I want to either squeeze a rickroll on to (since I know it has a USB port and can therefore accommodate speakers) or add a slide to that just says OBEY.

Put the slide that says obey in
and fix it so removing it =instant rickroll

I think that's why the boss won't let me play with it
because he knows I'd do something completely insane and probably break it!

Or try and access the web-caches of the company directors and cycle through the caches' image-contents.

Our web policy is positively draconian
although I have noticed that it doesn't block Google Cache, so I could read vintage QOTW if I so wished...

Re Vintage QOTWs
Pity it wouldn't let you reply to old Questions.

Now that would be fun!
I'm not keen on the idea of my b3ta login turning up on the work server, though...
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:36, Reply)

Same here
Even though I'm one of the lucky few to have an Internet Laptop on my desk, I still use my iPhone for b3ta-ing (b3ating?).
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 20:39, Reply)

That's one of the few reasons I would want an iPhone other than the fact they are SHINY.
Am looking into a data bolt-on, or Pot was going to hook me up with a contract with unlimited data to feed my b3ta habit, except my phone doesn't like pages over a certain size :(

It's the opposite with us.
Two Christmases ago, we got everyone in the office a free iPod. So we encourage people to listen to mp3s. Of course back in the days of slacker attitudes to office Internet access, I'd download shed-loads of mp3s at work.

Sounds like heaven.
Would mean I wouldn't have to listen to the latest from Strictly Come Dancing!

Is that what they blare out over the tannoy at work?
Or is that just the taste of one of the Higher-Ups with music-listening privileges?

Nah, it's my colleague banging on about it ><
am not a fan. Not even slightly, and unfortunately I am alone in my despising of musical theatre, too!

I used to work in a place where listening to my colleagues banter would make me want to demolish the contents of my desk using only a pencil strapped to my forehead. Nowardays, I work in a place where half the banter is in a foreign language.

We have to speak French on Wednesday afternoons.
I say "have to" - we rarely do :(

You could compromise and parler la Franglais.

We do un petit peu.
9.08 - I've done my 3 hours and am now free! :)

Le yay!
Maladicta est gratuit!
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 21:14, Reply)

Pas gratuit, mais au même temps je ne baise pas pour l'argent.
Pourquoi, alors, est-ce que j'ai dit au responsable que je ferai la même chose demain et vendredi? VDM.
( Maladicta, Wed 5 Aug 2009, 21:17, Reply)

Eh beh oui!
C'est pour l'argent brillant, n'est pas (la même chose - pas la baiser)?
