50% Bonus Supertax

Dont know if you heard the news but Alistair Darling announced that bonuses will be taxed an additional 50%.

My take home bonus will now be
50% (Bonus Tax) * 50% (the other half being deferred) * 60% (40% income tax) = 15% of the face value declared bonus...

Demoralising man. I feel cheated.

disorganised thoughts

So many different thoughts going thru my brain right now... And I can't be bothered to organise them so bear with me...

- my dinner is in my microwave and i'm starving but I don't want to distract my thoughts...

- occurred to me yet again how time flies. i've been married for just over two months now. more and more of my friends are getting married.

- when time flies, stuff happens. some young girl sadly passed away, another distant friend's granddad too. mortality does bring you back to reality, and once again remind you what really is important in your life.

- felt really sian at work today. dont really know why - perhaps its the press and the public riling against paying me something decent.

- exercise really helps me destress. now i realise why I wasn't stressed in school... i play football every day!

- the winter gloom is really starting to get to me. hard to stay cheerful. i should hit the gym more.
