Well, in all fairness, I also didn't have to pay THOUSANDS in taxes in SG!Originally posted by StarPuppy:thats is nice
you wouldn't find it in singapore 
You win some, you lose some! Overall, I still take home more post-tax so I'm happy! I just close one eye and don't dwell on what I don't have but rather, on what I do!

so what'cha gonna do with it?Originally posted by Rhonda:Say, what a lovely surprise! I had slightly over $1,000 returned to me by the taxman! -
Some of my colleagues had to pay a few hundred to the taxman though. I figured that the more extra shifts you pick up, the more taxes you end up paying! Weird! Doesn't reward hard work at all! So, the morale is, why bother to work so hard at all?Originally posted by the Bear:it's like that there.. they'll collect a crapload of tax and then return the deductables to you...

One colleague has it really bad! She picked up so many extra shifts that she has to pay an extra A$3K! She's determined not to work so hard from now on! -

how much money you got? -
Actually, between earning a paltry amount and paying GST, watching real inflation rise annually whilst paying less taxes and earning more, being taxed more, but having more spending power in the end, I choose the latter!

baseball bat to the face. works wonders (sometimes). Wish I could use that at work (on a few people). -
i wish it was that easy...
i've never been much of a diplomat, and all my working life, words are used like weapons.. it's hard to blunt your weaponsOriginally posted by jetta:how to kill? hmmm. tried machete? noose? dynamite (my personal fav)?

Since I don't know the details, I can only give a general suggestionOriginally posted by the Bear:buhbye nurse... try not to practise your obsession with horror flicks on anyone

emphasise the 'fact' that the project was conceptualised with nothing but good intentions from all involved(white lie) but after weighing all the variables, due to variables out of the organisation's control(another white lie), it will be best not to carry out the project as planned (must add tinge of regret). (neatly sidestep the unspoken question of why it took them this long to realise it)
the tone of the paper must be one of regret and must not give a sense of assigning blame to any individual.
good luck bear. -
K bear. The hubby's gone to eat a very late dinner.
Have a good one guys. -
if i write the brutal truth, it'll be:
due to the stubborn nature and stupidity of certain individuals who refused to heed the advice of those who had to do it, the project was pushed ahead with a "full steam ahead, damn the torpedoes" attitude...
variables known but ignored and then derided by the same individuals reared their ugly heads, derailing the whole project... and a few other variables, strongly suspected to exist but brushed aside by the same knucklehead individuals were landmines which the derailed smothering pile landed on and everything blew sky high into a billion unsalvagable pieces..
those who gave advice kept the peace by not telling those knuckleheads "i told you so" and i've been conveniently arrowed to write this in order to bury the project...Originally posted by av98m:Since I don't know the details, I can only give a general suggestion

Perhaps you can also read press releases or ministers' speeches in the papers to gain some inspiration on how to lie.
e.g. PM's statements on the IMF fiaso and his embarrassing performance in his own constituency against a bunch of newbies. -
i'm not going to take half a day off.. i'll write this BS later..
in the meantime, a Condi-less Bush is in Singapore and his VP, who is a Dick is somewhere else looking for other places to financially and politically rape... -
i love this song...
an open invitation to the dance
happenstance set the vibe that we're in
no apologies because my urge for you is genuine
and mystery of your rhythm is so feminine..
here i am and i want to take hit
of your scent coz it bit
so deep into my soul...
i want you...
i've never actually heard another song with words telling of his want for her so... eloquently and with quiet desperation..
it's a wonderful song
