Tea break time again

I just went and got a coke from the vending machine. Supposedly, I'm doing some overtime today. However, since I'm only a casual employee, I don't get overtime rates. I'm actually doing more hours than the job advertised, but I don't really mind. In fact, last week, (I just got my pay slip) I did 40 hours! Thats actual work by the way, because they don't pay us for our lunch/tea breaks.

Its pretty good though. At my current pay rates, I'm supposed to be earning a gross annual salary of 35k. Not bad for my first job kind of. But after tax, my stupid HECs debt, and so on, its not so great. I've already paid $500 of tax! and thats like.. in 3 weeks..

Oh well, back to work now...
