Just found out that the company I work for doesn't pay for the first 3 days of sickness. Fuming.

Shouldn't be skiving off work then should you?

I'm not sure what sick pay at my company is, but generally, if you're ill, you're not getting paid.

Harsh. Had Norovirus and was off for 2 days. Didnt even know about it until I got my pay slip!

You're paid per hour am I right? I think generally if you are paid per hour/part time then you dont get paid sick pay.

Just dont understand it? Is it better for me to go into work ill then?!

I think they have to pay you some, I was off for two months from my part time job at the local newsagents last year after I had a ACL reconstruction, but I got paid for six of those eight weeks.

Might have been statutory sick pay? That only kicks in after a week I think.

Thats the problem working with big companies, you are just a number.

Okay, with that statement I think we can conclude that British employment law officially sucks.

I work for a big company and sick pay is fine. I get full pay for first 26 weeks of illness or something.

Was wondering when you were going to wade in PA.

Anyway, I apologise if I offended with my wording, not sure of all the correct terminology as it were.

It's fine. The problem really is just terminology. Being transwhatever is a very broad term and there aren't really any specific terms and if there were, noone would really care.
So it's like. If you take the word footballer. You could call someone who plays Sunday league a footballe or it could just be a term saved for professionals. But playing Sunday league isn't the same thing as playing for Man Utd and so you wouldn't call a Sunday league player a footballer, they'd be a person who plays football.
The same is true for being trans. Someone who was born as a male who takes x amount of tablets a day, goes to support sessions and shits herself everytime she has to talk to someone she doesn't know in case they go "HEY YOU'RE A DUDE AREN'T YOU?" could be called a tranny but then so could someone who likes going out at night wearing a bra because it gives him a hard on. The difference people don't differentiate between the tw so a lot of people assume it's some weird fetish and that's where the stigma comes from.
That and because queers..

Imagine what coal consumption increases look like for industrial revolution Britain. It's a pretty pointless graph, Chine has undergone massive amounts of infrastructure building over the last ten years, in order to become a modern country.

Also, that's just coal. I think I'm right in believing that most of the fossil fuel based energy in the west comes from oil and gas. Here and here.
Reason being coal is cheaper. Sim City taught me that.

Says the classical liberal.

What pisses me off at work is that my mate has been promoted to supervisor, going from £4.98 an hour to £6.40, because of the amount of sucking up he's been doing. We've been working pretty much the same number of hours for two months each, yet he's always getting a little extra over-time, gets treated with respect, doesn't get bollocked, and now will earn £1.42 per hour more than me, even though the actual supervising work he needs to do is open up and close on Saturday and Sundays, takes about half an hour each time. It's fucking bullshit. I'm speaking to my manager about it, but I bet he'll give some phony excuse.

The person who had the job before was asked to leave for stealing; they already had the job lined up for him anyway. I'm not the one who's been overlooked either, two other people are pissed off about it.

Had a blood test at the hospital this morning and completely blacked out as the nurse was taking blood from my arm. Was the weirdest feeling. I came to around 3-4 minutes later covered in sweat and with no recollection where I was or what had happened.

I remember feeling weird, telling the nurse, then my eyes began to go fuzzy. When I woke up there was a good few seconds where I had no idea where I was and was out of breath. It was the weirdest feeling. Thankfully I think they got enough blood before I passed out, so I don't have to go back.

Same happened to me a couple of times.

Worst was after I had knee surgery and they took the needle our the back of my hand. Got up, was ok, then started feeling really bad. Managed to get over to near a chain, spun round and fainted into it. Was touch and go if I was going to be able to go home for a bit.

Also, TS, its AIDS, definitely AIDS.
