I know that this position must suit someone on the board - but who??? This would be an ideal position for those with intellectual leanings and an education - which would, i estimate, be in the zillions............

I'd give it a go for a year or so if I was an Australian citizen. It would be an interesting experience.

Maybe they meant 63,600 - 71,220 per week? Still not enough to get me out of bed, but might be for some with simpler lifestyles.

The ad said monthly salary. Not enough for me to waste my PPE degree from Magdalen on even though I've got dual Australian-British nationality. Perhaps Aunty Adders could get a foot in claiming some arcane Anzac arrangement.

A traffic warden earns more than that!

Maybe this explains why he is the way he is. If you had to wear that outfit to work, you'd be a bit off center too.

I think you are all being silly, you all know that that sort of money is a good local salary, bet all you others arenтАЩt getting that much running your small little businesses like beer bars etc.

I was working at a top Thai private high school for boys and taking home 65,000 a month. At the end of the month I had money left over. And I didn't deny myself very much.

For BKK the salary is pretty good.

Thats good money,remembering its probaly mon to friday 9 to 5 with a 1 hour lunch break and morning and afternoon tea break plus coffee breaks.
I have to work sat and sundays to bring in 30 000 baht clear a week after taxation.and then a few 12 hour shifts.I would gladly take the embassy job.to get away from people asking me stupid questions.As i do my job i look on you people with pity,pity you are so stupid you need to ask the first person you see in a uniform a stupid question.
I dont bother smiling anymore,whats the use looking happy around people,as soon as the see you look nice they will stop you to ask questions.I make sure i look bitter as i walk along with my big black shiny work boots snarling at people eyeing me off walking past.
I love American tourists ,and i got a hard on the other day as this young American girl called me Sir.Americans give me hard ons as they always call you SIR.
I feel like telling them to get on their knees when there talking to me.Does anyone else get hard ons from American people.

And prey tell darling what exactly is your line of work again???

I know what you mean about some Americans. I got sick and tied of been asked "I just love your accent. Where are you from?" when I lived there. In the end I just used to stare them in the eye and with all the acid I could muster say "From my mother's vagina."

Man was that a conversation killer! Bwahahahahaha
