No more holidays
I cannot believe it has been twenty days since Cayden was born. My holidays are over. It has been a fun, challenging ride and I would not change it for anything. I wish I could have more time off of work as it is a bit difficult getting the boys to school as Chell can’t drive for another two weeks.
Thankfully her Mum is able to help out a bit with the pick up / drop off to and from school. Cayden has had his moments throughout the night, and is slowly getting better at sleeping for more than 1.5 – 2 hours at a time but it would be great if he slept 3 or more hours consistently.
He sleeps most of the day so is awake most of the night. I don’t mind this and am grateful for how well Chell is doing with the feeding in the middle of the night and nappy changes. I don’t think I would be able to do anything as good as Chell though. She handles every situation great (although I must admit when he vomited on me on in the shopping centre I just laughed it off).
So it’s the end of my holidays, I’ve done my Tax and back to work tomorrow and no more spending all day with Cayden which will suck. Lets hope I can get back into the routine of having to work again!
What a brilliant idea…
Message from a hard working Aussie
I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, as I work on a mine site on a Kalgoorlie (WA) construction project, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a Centerlink Payment because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand – I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sit on their backsides drinking grog & smoking dope.
Could you imagine how much money the Government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a Centerlink Payment?

I was just sitting here thinking about the things I have to pay next week, and how it leave’s no money left over — but that’s life, right?
I remember a little quip my accountant told me, that made me think, it goes like this:
Two things you can never avoid in life is Tax and Death.
Now, whilst this may be true, I beg to differ. One of them you can avoid, which is Tax. If you think about it, people like me work, and pay tax. That tax goes to the Government, which goes to police/hospitals e.t.c. but it also goes to the people not working; people living on the dole.
Which got me thinking, why don’t the people that are on the dole pay tax? The people that work have to pay tax to support the people on the dole, so they should have to pay tax to support the Government, right?
So I think the line should be:
Two things you can never avoid in life is Tax and Death, unless you live on the dole, then your tax-free.
Well, that’s just my little rant for the day, what do you think, should people that are living on the dole pay tax too?
