I think you mean, I wish I could be in Australia, but I am stuck in India ?

It seems our uninformed friend has taken the bait. I will not complain if you want to move the inevitable following wailings from the subcontinent to the Backroom. To be straight up, the company I work for employees scores of Indians, there are no dramas and the guys are all good blokes to a man. I get on very well with all of them and in the fifteen years I have been at this company, the only incident of harassment/violence etc was perpetrated on the Indaian bloke by his Indian ex-wife. Oh, and a Vietnamese guy pulled a knife on a Sikh. Not a good idea to pull a knife on a Sikh! Let the party begin.

"allegedly racially motivated attacks against Indians and a perceived poor response by the police " "New South Wales Police have stated that Indians are not over represented in Australian crime statistics" I can pick bits out of a biased article if I want to too. I live in Australia and dont see the radical crap the Indian Media spouts. Wouldn't surpise me if this is a gambit in the Uranium argument, Oh no. That may belong in the Backroomm too :-O

That's the reason I had a Joke icon in my earlier post :)

Yeah, I realised that too late. :( No offence intended - (For the world): I am sick of the "minorities" (a dreadful expression, and not meaning ethnic minorities exclusively) dictating policies that affect the entire population. However, everyone has to man up these days, and stop making excuses. I do not hear the Greeks, Italians. Lebanese, NZ'ers, English et al compaining about how they became victims of crime in a huge, populous country. Or elsewhere in the world (including India) for that matter. In the context of the Background I grew up in, there are too many "Proffessional Victims".

I am having staff troubles: 1. Stopped by Police last week and arrested for unlicenced driving and outstanding warrants - havn't heard from him since and I assume he is at Long Bay (jail) 2. Autistic child sending wife mad, time off to organise life. 3. Wife done a runner with the car and child, time off to organise life. 4. Broken leg (fell over on the driveway in the wet) - Pins, rods and many months off work. 5. Oral surgery - week off. This is from a workforce of ten! Anyone have any spare hamsters?

These guys are skilled labourers. They run large, state of the art chemical batching machinery and probably lift between 3 and 6 tons of materials per day. They are very well paid and I rely on them enormously. Last year, I had to lay-off the useless and the weak and only kept my core slaves who had to live with reduced hours etc. Now we are flat out busy again and breaking production records so I am forced to go back on the tools! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have hired a couple of new blokes to start this weekend, and, although they will take a long time to train up, extra hands will make the Senior Guys' lives easier.

Ouch that is bad. I've never had to deal with that at work at all, but had something similar in college. First of all we had to do a project in COBOL and CICS and so it was a real pain anyway. We had a group of 6 that had to work together. Of the 6 we lost one because he was failing a different class. That wasn't too bad as he was one who would miss school every week due to the death of one grandparent or another. It was a little bit hard to be sympathetic after the 10th grandparent died in a row. We lost another guy because of a major back injury. Another guy had his appendix burst and had to be rushed to the hospital. The fourth guy broke an elbow on one arm and the wrist on the other while playing basketball. The fifth guy had one arm amputated after suffering severe frostbite. I got off light. The worst that happened to me that semester was a car accident on the interstate that I was able to walk away from. The truck totaled my car, but I was all right. We made it through, but it was rough.
