Was driving into work today, and saw the infamous Hoddle Street window washers, and started thinking, how much they actually earn.
Well, they generally are there in peak hours ( 7am - 9am and 4pm - 7pm) so 5 hrs a day, average of say 50 windows an hour, at a gold coin a car, thats $250 per day or $65,000 per year.
Now, when you look at this, that is 100% tax free, and I don’t think the drug dealers pay tax, so these "Bumbs" or "Druggies" are actually earning more than your average joe who has a good desk job and 3 times as much as your check out chick.
When you actually do the figures on it, it’s bloody scary how much they really earn for the amount they actually work!
Well, now that I got that off my chest, Last night, went off to coffee with the NetRider Crew. Met some of the faces that make up the NetRider Website. Had a fun evening watching Dale try and chat up this bird who was rescued when the phone rang. 
Tonight, off to Flippers place (Deb) for a NetRider Gathering.
What on for tomorrow?
Well, worked for 5hours today so going to stay away from there tomorrow. Will prolly do some more reading for my L’s course next weekend, and the good old catchup Sunday things that most of us get up to.
