I have a week of paid holidays and 6 paid sick days to use up before January 1st.

Changing jobs last December was the best decision ever.

dadchat: a pivotal moment in my father's life was when he visited a "famous indian guru" at age 20, asked him if he would ever make it as a professional musician, and the guru said no

i think about this a lot and am completely enchanted by the idea of a sassy old indian man who had seen the summer of love bullshit unfold, with all the cultural appropriation that entailed, and turned mistakes into miracles by creating for himself a career where he got to charge long-haired white boys eighty bucks a pop for the privilege of telling them they have absolutely no musical talent whatsoever

I assume Karamalz is a similar malt drink? That's all over the place here.

I can only guess it's going to be mostly the same, maybe needs some dithering on the sugar levels but you should get the same experience: the customary experience of family approval in beverage form

the statutory minimum is 10 sick days (increased from 5 in 2021) on full pay.

it looks like the ukkk caps it at £99.35 pw and the first 3 days are unpaid? doesn't seem better unless you've got a long-term illness.

That's the legal minimum but most jobs work with full pay for up to 28 days and then fraction of your salary thereafter.

It's neat that you tried it because I have zero percent ability to judge it outside of the infectious acquired taste you permanently get for malta. Like all my younger cousins will get made fun of in school for it but they want nothing else and think regular soda is too sweet

we had a few strange decades where the australian immigration system wasn't openly white supremacist, but that time is past now

our entire aged care system collapsed during covid because of a lack of slaves. things like that hold back an official resurgence of the white australia policy, but only barely.

a few years ago the rightwing media was operating at full hysteria trying to get australians to care about hong kong so we could rattle our sabres at china and it had absolutely no effect lol

which is sad, because the hk resistance was cool as hell and not a swastika to be seen
