perhaps you should make a list of working conditions you would like Fred and negotiate with PF? I'm sure he would be reasonable

I just ask adequate wages for a hard-working badger. Maybe a small bonus at Christmas, so we can get little Elly something special. Like a lovely can of premium worms for her stocking.

Christmas bonus? Consider it done! (Anything for Little Elly!)
As for the wages, name your terms and I will consider them. I am indeed a reasonable man.

Indeed, sir! I never would have guessed!
If you would consider a dozen field mice, and a pint jar of slugs per week, my family and I would be very grateful, sir.

*Examines balance sheets, stabs furiously at calculator*
Mmmm... that should be possible if linked to a 4.8% increase in productivity and a 2% increase in Researcher Throughput...
I think we have a deal, Mr. Badger!

Erm, could you be a bit more specific about the 4.8% productivity, sir?
Baders Unite!
Brother Brock Posted Dec 1, 2001
Fred - dont sell yourself short
a 4.8% increase in productivity will mean that you are working far harder - harly fair for such a meagre wage

Less work, higher wages? Hmmm, intriguing.

however little work your doing, it is almost alwasy possible to do less, think of all the work your doing just remaining upright, it would be better to suspend yourself in a tank of goo and have reality on a drip.

A tank of Goo? Reality on a drip? That's h2g2! I'm doing that now!

A wish? I get a wish? I'd better not do something silly, like say "I wish for a big juicy worm," right? Oops.

Hopes Fred got a pleantiful supply of worms for Christmas and is not snowbound

Fred the Badger (official Thingite bartender) Posted Jan 8, 2002
Thank you! I got some lovely worms, and snow doesn't bother me, I've got a thick fur coat!
