| we use some..eh..substances in lab |
Oh, busy, busssssyyy week it was. And the similar one will be. At least i'm happy cause today was the payment day $$) I've recieved my first salary, paid by LICR, today, and now i'm so proud:) From my first salary i've paid my first taxes (which is 22,28% according to the Skattetabel). And now i feel a sort of "We build this country!", proudly walking on clean streets and breathing the fresh air, feeling like i have a full right now to admire and use the public services, cause i've pa$d for them as a honest and fair citizen..:)
Soon i plan to post the last part of "Memories" about walking with Craig in museums, gay pride 2011 and beautiful sunset in august Stockholm.
On this week i'll get in touch with all scandinavian gods :)
On Onsdag (Wednesday, the Day of Odin) i'll try to prepare my toilet project for KI Innovation Idea contest.
On Torsdag (Thursday, the Day of Thor) i'll have an exam of "Animal Laboratory Science" course.
On Fredag (Friday, the Day of Frea) i'll hang out somewhere in the city testing my camera for possible malfunction before going to Paris.
Hope everything will be ok! Check the blog and take care!
Hey, if not a secret, how much do they pay you? Can a young PhD-to-be afford himself any luxury?:))
ReplyDeleteHe can, he can)
ReplyDeleteIn Sweden great socialistic razor is in operation - nobody will let u be poor and nobody will let u be rich. Just for example, Astrid Lindgren payed 99,97% taxes from her million-dollar incomes.
Well, Renka, i don't think the precise sum will tell u something.. But i can tell u that the system works so that my salary is just 1/3 of minister income :)
BTW I don't really understand why you have to deal with taxes, you are not running any business (or are you?). Here in our beloved motherland (I mean Russia) usual people usually don't pay taxes (or do they?:)))...
ReplyDeleteI have to pay it cause i'm working here (employed, so to say, at Ludwig Institute), so i have an income, so i have to pay the tax. Student scholarship money is not abused with taxation, but all other types of work which have at least some income - they do for sure.
ReplyDeleteyeap, in Russia usual people don't pay taxes.
Only unusual people do :))
