definitely nice to have
we haven't been told if the pay freeze here is still on. I imagine it is.

Fortunately the company is doing well internationally, so we should get a bonus in April which is nice.

i got a £10k payrise and a bonus in may, which was nice
this time around, the criteria for bonuses is so ridiculous i won't be seeing a red cent of it!

you could convert to law and specialise in construction or patents or something with your background
if you wanted, you're clearly brighter than most!

I am still gobsmacked that you have the audacity to complain about paying tax
when you can receive a 10K pay rise and a bonus. My wages would rise by something like 40-50% if I got that.

i don't complain about paying tax
although obviously i would prefer not to.

i complain vociferously about what they spend the money on. less lesbian quangos looking into the effects of wearing knee-high socks as opposed to ankle-socks on 4-5 year olds and more pay for doctors and teachers, please!

someone in the pub the other night had an additional idea to my
"you get your fees paid for if your A-levels are good enough" idea.

if you piss around at uni and get less than a certain mark, you have to pay the fees back.
