I've fixed your poll to include apostrophes in the appropriate places. Was your apostrophe key broken? 
Good question, glad you asked it!

Good question, glad you asked it! | | | | | no its workin jus fine thanks mr pendantic ;-)
I though of a follow up poll, which was how long do you hope to be here? But the questions are bit more tricky to formuate
1. Help, Gemme out of here ASAP
2. Im happy for as long as this job/posting/contract lasts, but no more
3. Im going to try and extend my stay beyond that
4. Im permanent, but only because I cant think of anywhere better to go
5. Im permanent, and I love it so much Im going to get Swiss nationality
