Regretting calling your boss a perv yet?

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 20:38, Reply)

no, he is a fucking perv
why would I regret it?
even if it gets me fired, he's still a fucking perv
I can find a new job, but he's still a nasty old perv

A new job might mean more money and a proper amount of annual leave to take!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 20:46, Reply)

Darling, you'd have to be a CEO or something to find a NEW job which allows you that much holiday time when starting out
perhaps not a CEO but probably a shit ton of training which I don't have
my roommate just started her job in january in corporate sales for a computer software company, making probably $50k a year and she only gets a weeks holiday
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 20:50, Reply)

Is $50k a good salary?
I only ask, as a couple of years ago when you'd get $2 to £1 that would be similar to a UK job paying £25k, which is below the national average for the UK.

EDIT: Title edited. Sorry K.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 20:52, Reply)

better than $50k, that's for sure
but I think the base salary for my town is somewhere around $34k
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 20:55, Reply)

Is 34 grand a year a livable wage, or is that a bit of a struggle.
I'm guessing that like the UK, location dictates salary as much as anything.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 20:58, Reply)

After taxes it's probably around 24 grand, most housing is around a thousand a month so that cuts it in half
I'd say it's a bit of a struggle considering most have to commute, with fuel prices, car maintenance, food, utilities.
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:00, Reply)

taxes are a cunt.
If things are a bit of a struggle for most people every month, you can see why health insurance isn't always top of the list for people to buy, not at the expense of food or heating.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:06, Reply)

plus it's a cunt and a half as far as price goes
mine was $110 a month through my employer, and that was 4 years ago

I've got no idea what country offers the best value for money for its nationals
Based on tax, average salary, healthcare and general cost of living.

I'll find out!

I heard it's stinky there because they don't bathe properly

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:20, Reply)

Correct.
Saying, 'Lordy, my throat is as dry as a Frenchmans bath mat' is a cue for your host to go and get you a drink as you might die from dehydration at any moment.

it'll be skewed by weird places like Brunei
which have free healthcare and no income tax.

£25k is national average? seriously?
I don't get anywhere near that yet
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:00, Reply)

It varies on experience, location, sector and all manner of other things.

I'm amazed to see that on average, men are earning 7k a year more than women.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:11, Reply)

I'm slightly above average for a temp
/looks on bright side
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:11, Reply)

But you get to cock about with cameras everyday.
I get to slave over spreadsheets and I have to talk to people who use words like 'blue sky thinking'.

People who use phrases like 'blue sky thinking' get the hump when you say, 'And the difference between 'blue sky thinking' and just 'thinking' is what exactly?'
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:12, Reply)

i do like arsing about with cameras
and wearing robes. I asked my boss if I could wear the robes all the time. She said I could, but she'd have to check with health and safety for wearing them in teh darkroom

And I'm guessing you also benefit from a massive holiday entitlement as well.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:18, Reply)

in the sense that I don't get paid for them yet, yes

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:19, Reply)

Sorry.
I thought teachers got an annual salary and were paid during term breaks.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 5 Jul 2011, 21:21, Reply)

Well I hope these other 21 people going for your job all get overlooked in favour of you.

She has to be nice to me as I'd booked her a bash-hug for being awesome!

What we lack in buzzwords we make up for in acronyms.
With this in mind, I've started calling actions with very uncertain timescales SMQs (String Measurement Queries).
