(The sickie is part of Aussie Culture) The 15 are added each year I now have 120 days paid sick leave up my sleeve. so in finishing in Socialist Aussieland (as alot of you would think) I get 9 weeks per year holiday (paid) 9% supperannuation paid on top of my salary 40 hour week (5 8 hour shifts) 3 months long service leave (paid) after ten years universal health care But I cannot get a handgun (I only can cary one at work.) $60000 per year salary for a security job with the Government(cause shift allownaces are paid for weekends nightshift etc) pretty good deal I think. i will go back to the USA to spend some of that money soon prob Disneyworld and vegas Best wishes and safe jumping to you allI tend to be a bit different. enjoyed my time in the sport or is it an industry these days ??

millertime24 8 #2 November 18, 2008 So friggin what? I get 30 paid days of leave per year, and if I get sick and am out of work it doesn't count against my leave days. Plus I dont have to pay for my healthcare, dental, housing, or food. Plus if I move to a state like AK where the cost of living is signifigantly higher my company pays me more money just for living there. I also work a 40hr week (most of the time), unless one of my co-workers decides to let me leave early to go skydiving or something. Beat that.

skydyvr 0 #4 November 19, 2008 That's nothing. I show up at the office when I feel like it 4 days a week. For the first couple hours, I read the paper or text my friends while my office assistant gives me head. After a few phone calls it's off to lunch, followed by 9 or 18 holes of golf depending on whether I'll need to stop back by the office on the way home. I keep asking my boss to get me on a 7 day a week schedule, but he doesn't want to overwork me. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yarpos 4 #7 November 19, 2008 what a load of crap....a sickie is only part of the lazy bogan culture.....I havent had a sickie (lying about illness to have a day off) for 20 years. 9 weeks leave , give me a break.....you would have to work shift work which you conveniently leave out. yes we have universal health care, for which we pay hefty taxes.....and if you have any brains you take out private insurance anyway as there is a queue for the universal careregards, Steve the older I get...the better I was Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can carry a gun and use it in defense of Government property and personnel but, use that same weapon in defense of your home and family and you're a criminal. Sounds great....

If you want to be a true believer and not take a sickie bully for you. So what if there is a queue for medicare you still get treated FOR FREE IF YOU ARE A LOW INCOME EARNER It's not free, dude. We've been over this. It's only "free" to those who don't pay anything into the system. If someone isn't paying into the system then the system shouldn't be paying back to them. It's obviously a fundamental difference in opinion. Free, to you, means someone else is paying the tab so fuck it. Free, to me, means that jackass is freeloading and should contribute if he wants to receive. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
