I currently get 2 vacation slots of 5 days. Typically we will have 4 four day trips a month. When you bid vacation the first four days of vacation take out one four day trip. The fifth day of vacation takes out the next four day trip but I am only getting paid for five days. And because the vacation dropped the rest of the second trip I end up losing a lot of money.

It's the weekend and fine so I'm going to go for a ride.
I'm lucky. I'm salaried and get 4 weeks of annual leave plus up to 10 1/2 public holiday a year. The leave can be carried forward indefinitely or partially cashed out. And of course have access to taxpayer subsidised universal healthcare (except dental).

I believe we have discussed the perverse incentives inherent in fee-for-service.

Correct. It has potential evil. I don't get any reimbursement for anything other than office visits, so my situation is not quite as worrisome as those where the doctors order very expensive tests that they themselves make money on. That is really concerning. I wonder if that's why the average cardiologist or gastroenterologist is earning several times what I earn?

b) Yeah... we may need a new roof and will just see if we can get them to offset that.

With some poetic license you could call this series of photos the three faces of Eve/Steve. Edit: Do I see the name Wilson on the collar?

Some of the Mignon models have a dozen or so color choices - I wonder if they're the same size and if you can get a different color panel as an option? As much as I initially recoiled at the sight of a webpage full of colorful, but otherwise identical grinders, I have to admit that I wouldn't mind something like a canary yellow in the kitchen.

As has become tradition, we picked up our Christmas tree today - the kids and wife are busy decorating it at the moment. The funny part, though, is only tangentially related to the tree - as we were setting it up, the wife stepped back and looked it up and down... which is when she noticed some spatters of blood on the ceiling from last night. Oops.
