Minimum holidays, 2 weeks vacation after 7 years, no pay raise in 7 years. We get the "you're lucky to have a job!" speech if we ask for more of anything. $675K in sales last year, net pay $16K.

If I get another "be lucky you have a job" responses I will have to fight like the dickens to keep from hauling off and punching them right in the face.

What is "The Dickens" anyway? Charles dickens? Could he fight? I remember talking to a mate about a bike crash I had where I smashed all my ribs. To emphasize the pain, I said "It hurt like buggery", (a pretty common expression here) to which he replied, "NOTHING hurts like buggery"............ ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
