I broke a window in the bedroom. Nothing particularly awesome about the way I did it, I just stacked it over a power cord and put my head through it. I'm fine - the window isn't. I rang up Jim's Glass but they charged me $197. I have no idea about how much glass replacement costs but I'm wondering if I can get it cheaper, because the window's not very big. It's about 100 x 60cm. We have to move house in a couple of months' time so I should probably fix it if we want our bond back.

It is one of those odd things in life, over decades, that a home visit by a glazier has always been much more than the cast of a home visit by a GP.
It comes up in newspapers etc. from time to time.

Something to do with social values I guess.

So fisho should call a locum to fix her window?

Or junior doctors should give it up and become glaziers...
In my last year in private medical practice I found out the guy fixing my guttering, working as a contractor for a company, was earning more per year than I was. (Admittedly I was only working 40 hours a week 48 weeks of the year.)

That'd be shattering.

That would be paneful

It shard to take.

It did leave me feeling a little glazed over at the time and contributed to my decision to retire three months later once I'd inherited some cash.
You could say it gave me a clear vision of societal values, and tempered my devotion to duty.

Like that's the real reason. Anyone could see right through that.
