  • Where I live ( the good old balkans ) we barelly ever call anybody for work, just because we are all handyman.

    Just last year I painted my gradmas house and assembled a new kitchen for her ( was 20 at the time ).

    And just in general all furniture and most work that’s done on the house we do ourself, except work that is only legally able to be done with professional’s or we didn’t have experience with before, but learn how it’s by watching the contractor and call another one for that kind of jobs.

    Our average holiday’s and day off’s are just working on our houses because we are too cheap to pay a cont$actor for it.





  • There was a woman here that used to work at a national park for 20 years but only 5 - 7 months every year, and after 20 years they finally accepted her for full time, she is now 47 but needs to work a minimum another 30 years to get minimal pension.

    She didn’t have the means to leave the country to look for work, and no other job wanted to hire her even thiught she would send couple hundred job application each year.

    Now she is stuck having to work till she is almost 80 for any kind of pension.
