well i get paid in pi and sometimes in e's

And only work one hour a week. Tough gig. Hard to make ends meet on that income?

i would like to get paid in e's

17142 can mean;

She earns a crap load for not much = winner winner chicken dinner
or
She gets the dole and needs to report in once a week to cash the cheque

She works for AMEX, lets just state she has three people who are higher in the company than she is.

your sister's name is louise?

If she has only 3 people higher then her, then wouldn't she generally be expected to be on-call, 24/7 ?

Did you factor 24/7 365/year into your equasion?

Is she single?

This is exactly why I couldn't give a figure, and why wage power gets messy for people in senior roles and small business.

Technically I'm 24/7/365...

and thats why i asked average hours worked
if you get paid $100k a year but spend every waking hour working, well you'll have a relatively low score

at home and watching tv regardless of on-call or not = not working
at work at surfin qgl = working
in the shower but devising work plans = not working and your own fault for not being able to separate real life with work
unless you're one of those weirdos that lives to work not works to live

Its not as simple as that, I can't answer that question - at random I'll not go to to toffice and 'work from home' taking vital tasks but otherwise watching TV / chasing the kids. Sometimes I'm at work all weekend. Sometimes I do 8-6, sometimes its 11-4.

Sometimes I'm having a bad 'M.S. week' and don't show up at all for several days, and only take vital problems from home.

I have no idea what quantity of work that is.

I don't even know what my real remuneration is because I'm not paid by the hour, and the trust is dispensed to myself, my wife and the kids. Its messy and wild but it pays the bills, and nobody in the family has a boss.

at work at surfin qgl = working

That's ridiculous and arbitrary. Bludging on the boss' time counts, but the boss taking your time outside work doesn't? Get the f*** out.

1500 Here.

2000. I thought I had a pretty sweet deal working from home 30 hours a week full time but people are beating me!

1111.11 working for the man. (regular income)
3517 when contracting :). (odd jobs)

I'm a programmer and tend not to do well without inspiration and well-thought out approaches. Ideas usually hit me at times such as while walking or in the shower, which is the only way I can do my job a lot of the time. Tis not that I want to be thinking about work while trying to sleep, but it's often the only way I can get things done... I wouldn't expect that to be uncommon among programmers, it's just the way I feel creativity works - unless of course you're just one of those bastards who codes everything by continuously growing inefficient chunks of code until the person who has to come work on it next has to just start again.

Also, I'm shank you in the f*** for breaking the h-scroll orbs.

ok i can see what you're saying hoggy
that is very mish mash

ok i can see what you're saying hoggy

Hahah it's all over the place like a mad woman's s***!

But I reckon I'm ahead. Getting sick was the catalyst that changed a lot of things for me, it provided the motivation to do things, take risks and set up life the way I wanted it.

My net happiness NOW compared to before I got M.S. is 100% up, there is no doubt about it. I have a lot more face time with the kids, my wife doesn't have to work at all, and if I look at the clock at 7am and decide that today is a 10am start I just f***ing do it.

In a few year's time I'm gonna write a book about how my disease disaster was the best thing that ever happened to me :)

i'm rly glad to hear hoggy
the work/life balance is supreme and a lot of people don't ever put their minds to trying to better it, they accept that their life is just locking out life for work.

Tis my goal Hogfather, have a few semi-directionless ideas I'm pursuing at the moment. :)

2690... alot of travelling.. 1.5 hours each way

f*** yer

one of the best things about my job is that its rarely interfers with my personal life, which is what im about.

i love working, but i love coming home even more, seeing my family, playing my sport, getting wasted with my mates

im on call 24/7 365, but that is taken care of appropriately for what they pay me

that's the way spook
i know i could earn more money than i do
but i'd have to work my friggin arse off and root up my real life
bugger that for a joke

my ideal goal is to one day work gentleman's hours
10-2 with an hour or two for lunch

not including investments :(

without invest its 1600 but if i get a motorbike here it will be 1777.7

with investments its pushing 10k

~885 goddamn i need to graduate and get me a real job :(

i still remember you arguing so hard against my recession/depression prediction (i was saying it a good 2 years or more before it became mainstream news)- I would suggest if you want to make money don’t work in commerce or finance.. or just get used to not making any money in commerce or finance.. lolz

Also, I'm shank you in the f*** for breaking the h-scroll orbs.

hehehe, I thought I might screw someone over with that :D

Superform, were I to have a mobile that supports it - where would your avatar take me?

just my site :)

your sister's name is louise?

No names no pack drills

If she has only 3 people higher then her, then wouldn't she generally be expected to be on-call, 24/7 ?

Did you factor 24/7 365/year into your equasion?

I only included the 70 office hours per week. Whilst people at that level may well be available they have staff they delegate to. There is a big difference between small business and large multinational corporations.

Is she single?

No

Approximately 2305.

This comparison you concocted is totally void given you asked people to conform to "averages" such as annual leave.
When persons receive more than your standard 4 weeks with leave loading you're asking them to ignore a few thousand dollars in your comparison, same with salary sacrificing if they are career specific, as well as super contribution benefits.

All of these can add up to tens of thousands of dollars in the hand differences!

finance ftw (i hope)

oh you mean the thread where i asked you to post your true return on equities over the years? and you don't... probably because you don't calculate that number because it would be too ego-deflationary? go google something called confirmation bias, then have a good hard think about what it means.

you can post on qgl as much as you want about how you're the greatest investor the world's ever seen since warren buffet, that's your prerogative. trying so hard to convince random strangers of that seems pretty pathetic to me but whatever floats your boat dude :)

and yeah, finance is known for paying really, really poorly, right? keep em coming, bro.

anything under 100k/year is for peasants

how else can you afford your 3k/day lawyer?

lulz

on or off the books?

deflect more...

i mean in the thread where i called the meltdown and you said na that wont happen

my point is if you couldnt see there was a global financial crisis coming then maybe finance isnt your thing

flipping burgers might be more your thing

Oh right, the thread where you predicted the GFC? i didn't realise that actually happened... would you mind linking that? here's a start: http://www.ausgamers.com/forums/search.php?keywords=&author=superform®ion=both&posted=0&direction=newer&sort=score&pagesize=100

if a copy/paste of that doesn't work just load up the forums from the AG interface, jump into the search function, tap your name into the 'search for author' field and have at thee.

let's assume for the sake of your pedantic argument that the onset of the GFC was 14/15 Sep 08 when Lehman Bros announced bankruptcy - a commonly accepted starting point of the GFC.

so back to what i linked above? that's every thread you've ever posted on qgl, if you could link the relevant thread then that would be just super. because i've just skimmed through your posts prior to Sep 08 and can't find what in the f*** you're talking about. happy to stand corrected though.

so if you could just link this thread where you supposedly argued with me that there would be a GFC and i argued that there wouldn't be, that would just make my day.

my point is if you couldnt see there was a global financial crisis coming then maybe finance isnt your thing

flipping burgers might be more your thing

oh right, because the one thing about the GFC that sticks out in everyone's minds is just how predictable it was, right? if you're seriously suggesting that anyone who couldn't predict the GFC (as you claim you did) won't make any money in finance, ever, then you're even stupider than your posts belie - if that were the case 75%+ of wall street, london and the rest of financial markets across the globe would be unemployed. this is another case of you spouting absolute bulls*** - and if your trends in threads past are anything to go by you probably won't even reply to this post.

hahaha its replies like this that make me lol

you belittle me for making a predictions.. make none of your own and then come back with more belittling statements to cover up the fact that you dont know what your talking about

i cant find the thread so meh

Actually, the GFC was quite predictable it's just that individually we can't do anything about it. Sub-prime loans were the alarm bell for me, got out of hedge funds and protected my portfolio in solid blue chips. Been watching China/India for years and seeing who supplies them = profit. Of course it's not big money but it keeps me in PCs and smokes.

2981 but i also get 12 weeks paid leave. Teaching in a rural location has its benefits.

haha, k dude. i'll have to take your word on it then ;)

So it's basically gross annual income divide your hours away from home = figure

Based on the above statement, most weeks working from home = 16000

Average week this year containing chaos requiring me to go on-site = approx 5333.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Based on true work hours = 1333.33333333333333333333333333333

These figures dramatically change when the weather improves and I take some time off to go fishing.

I get wage power envy reading this thread

Suggesting finance might not be taggs' thing suggests you've never read a taggs post before because they seem pretty on the money to me.

BAM! Pun! "On the money", get it!?

nahh, pinky, the secret to finance is obviously making 50/50 predictions without giving any reasoning or justifcation whatsoever, let alone anything based on actual economic theory.

My wage can beat your dads wage no problems...

I have a giant cock!

i think this thread and the car thread are huge lolz

I have a giant cock!

No way man! My cock is much bigger!
