G’day everyone. Not sure if the word has made it through the series of tubes that is the internet yet, but I got a job. I started almost a fortnight (yes, they use that term here!) ago. It is strange to be working again, since most of you know I’ve been relying on my sugar-momma since the end of last year.<\/p>\n
Anyhoo, I’m working at a hospital, which is going to be an experience. More specifically, I will be supporting the data needs of the Pathology department, which is conveniently located right next to the morgue!<\/p>\n
Jobs in the public health sector here include something they call salary packaging.\u00a0 Basically, it is a way of reducing your taxable income by using pre-tax money for certain things.\u00a0 Those certain things appear to be just about anything! You get up to $9,000 for “living expenses” and then you can do an almost unlimited amount after that for “Meals and Entertainment” – meaning eating out or drinking out.\u00a0 We are going to get our money’s worth out of that one for sure!<\/p>\n
My stop for the hospital is right near a school.\u00a0 I am thunderstruck every morning when I see the boys in the AC\/DC uniform (jacket, shirt, tie, SHORTS<\/a>).\u00a0 Which reminds me, AC\/DC is playing here a couple days after my birthday and I should buy tickets!<\/p>\n We saw an ad today for a Pizza Hut pizza<\/a> that had Four’n Twenty Meat Pie crust, so it’s good to know they customize their terrible pizza ideas here too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" G’day everyone.
