you gotta be kiddin? no long weekend? as a matter of interest, in this lucky land down under, we get 10 public holidays per year plus a standard 4 weeks annual leave. If you are a good negotiator, you can usually swing 6 weeks annual leave but thats for the "rich and famous". oh if you work for a bank, you get a bank holiday as well. oh, and you also get 17.5% loading on your 4 weeks annual leave. Thats just short of about a weeks pay on top.

I think thats about as good as it gets - unless you are self employed when noone pays you when you are on leave.

So, what, Laz, you have to sell your soul for that or what??   ;)

Actually, I've been here so long I'm earning about 4.5 weeks a year.  With 10 holidays as well.  And a flex schedule.  Must have negotiated well!!!   ;D

Soul, soul, got rid of that years ago!

Actually work conditions and stress are largely what you make of it. There are some very unscrupulous employers around 9everywhere I think) but by and large, its not bad here. Sydney is the "fastest" city and then as you get into the smaller capitals the pace drops a bit.

Anyway, back at boring work now so will need to do something today. gotsto think of the next adventure coz they are getting a little stale. I mean, how many times can ye wenches be dipped in choccie?

Did anyone tell Larry about the newest idea from Friday nights phone call?   The calendar titled "The girls of ANA"   

Any ideas Larry?  ;)

mmm, some ammo here for the cruise

Hey Capt deb, whaddyamean "crane" (better be heavy duty)

Calender for the ANA girls huh - From what I have seen (pics), you guys would make a fortune - some pretty funky looking chick wenches (including the parrot) I must say! I haven't used the word funky for light years - since about WW1.

Now back into those tight jeans Phyl!

Yeah, see, I gotta chime in with Phyl here.  No killin whales.  We'll need to come up with some synthetic whale oil.  My boyfriend mocks me for being a tree hugger (he kills ruminants, murderer!) but I yam what I yam.
