Been at work about two hours and I have taken 11 calls.

Getting paid $69.78 an hour today and tomorrow!! \o/


How much is that in real money?

I've been working from the 19th and I don't get a day off until the 29th, so ten consecutive days. I think get paid double on Christmas Day and on Boxing Day which sweetens the deal... a little.

Going out on Christmas eve and ending up in an apartment with 5 girls playing twister on Christmas day is a good start to the day.

Sterling. Just over £44. Is that per hour? or did you make a mistake?

Working sucks, eh?

tbf the cost of stuff in Australia kinda negates the 'lots of money' thing.

Not really.

It all really depends. For example me working today and tomorrow is almost an extra $700 which would be a fair chunk towards a plane flight to Ireland or off a mortgage.. It's very good pay for working on a day that's extremely quiet... Like I'll take 35-40 calls today, mostly account balance enquiries that take a minute to do, normal days take 70+ calls with crazy complicated calls in between everything...

To be fair the only things that are much more expensive in Australia than in Britain are rent/property, alcohol and clothes.

The rest isn't vastly different.

eg. A normal pub meal - steak and chips for example, is about 7/8 quid. Supermarkets aren't hugely more expensive either.

The below shows the price differences between London and Sydney, not a huge difference. 10% higher on average but the wage is 45% higher on average.

Was wanting to ask, is FM13 worth it? Thinking of buying it in the new year.

If you're going to buy it, in the next 3 days is probably a good idea.

Since I've had repetitive crashes since the beta, I'd say no.

I'm sick of all the technical issues I've had with this version. Not a fan of spending my money on products that don't work.

:/

It feels weird not playing FM for so long, I've even installed FM06 to play an old save.
