I still have 3.5 hours of work to go.

On any other day it would only be 1 hour left to go but somebody called in sick and I have to cover their ass.

You know how horrible that is on a Friday? Finding out that morning you have to work 2.5 hours later then you thought you would.

Point being, drinking is starting late(r) here.

Ha, yeah, my knowledge of US chewing/sniffing (?) tabaco brands is not up to snuff...

that sucks farts. Sorry feller. One of my managers in one of the places i work in is American, he said the main reason he came to work here was better working conditions. If i get asked to work extra on any day it's up to me to say yes or no, and if i say no then it's tough shit for my employer and that's that

hope you got some beers in at some point though

before i was put on permanent vacation, that is, when i used to work, i remember extra hours got paid 125%.

saturday's 150%.

People listen to the music I play. I don't listen to the music people play. Fair is fair.

It's 150% here... Regardless of the day. After 12 hours in one day though... It's 200%

even in germany its only since recent that they got minimum wages, just saying.

if you spent 36 seconds for each post you make here, then after 10k posts that will sum up to 100 hours. 200 hours for 72 seconds per post. thats 5 weeks of 40 hours.

(i'm not the boss. lol)

Think i misunderstood your post. Yeh, depends on which sector you are working in, and the collective agreements in that sector.

PGGM (pensionfund) is also 150/200 i found. 150 during week, 200 weekend. (perc.)

then if you do flexwork (uitzendbureau) like Randstad. they only pay you 30% extra.

most employers will also pay you 8% holiday bonus, to be paid end of may, and many will pay you extra month (13th month) at the end of december.

(uitzendbureau is temporary employment agency)

to get back on topic, no i dont care what people listen to, unless i have to listen to it.

Well beats me, I will say this - sexism is a bit of a sensitive topic, wouldn't you agree? Anywhere in general, but certainly so on a tech-related forum, which as we all know are sadly notoriously known to be boys' clubs. We'd certainly like to see that change, and stereotyping language does not help.

Regarding the ban on political and religious topics, Tom (sorry, I was meaning to respond earlier), let me just say - yes, it's users who start flamewars, not topics. Yet for some reason it's almost invariably politics- and religion-related topics where flamewars get started.

On the flipside of the coin, we aren't exactly scanning the forum for politics and religion day and night deleting threads left and right - we are trying to be as lenient as possible. The most important rule of all is still being nice and respectful to each other, and not offensive. Yes, we do reserve the right to lock or delete an imploding thread at moderator discretion, and the politics & religion ban will be the foundation for that, but if a thread manages to stick to that most important rule, it probably won't get trashed just because a politician's name pops up somewhere in there. On the other hand, it is certainly a bit unclear what a communism vs. capitalism thread might be doing on a music software and production forum.

Another question often asked is "where do politics and religion begin" / "where is the border line". And as I already mentioned in a different context, that's certainly difficult to define. If we started to discuss this question, we could be here forever. But I'll say this again, too - while borders might be hard or even impossible to pinpoint with mathematical precision, what is clearly beyond the border is not.

So in conclusion, the ban remains in place - but I personally often feel like it's made to look like a bigger deal than it is, really. You really don't have to weigh every word you write here, let me assure you that's not the situation at all. If you read the rule carefully, it doesn't say everything will immediately be deleted or locked - it says it will at moderation discretion. In other words, it's up to us. And I hope you trust us to not be some sort of draconic Big Brother here.
