Second morning I have woken up and internet has been down. Probably went down sometime in the middle of the night due to ice again. I was worried about yesterday's class as it didn't stop snowing all day. I kept waiting for power to go out. Even got the obligatory email from the power company warning us it could happen. Good times.
Waiting for my check to hit the bank. Hard part about living on the east coast while working for a west coast company with a wets coast payroll system and a west coast bank. My check won't hit for a few more minutes. I need to get to the store. Got groceries to buy. Got bills to pay.
Spent the day teaching and then since B wanted to finish her work last night and not have it hanging today, ended up working another 2 hours after teaching. She managed to work a good 20 hours this week and we have another 20 for her next week. She will bring in some good cash for her. She also managed to get her rate raised. I've been asking for a raise for 2 years and she some how gets another $10 per hour with one email. Go figure. It dawned on her too last night that with this increase she is making roughly 3 times her friend who was recently getting excited about a $2 raise. The friend works her ass off in retail and in one week B will make more than she does in 2.5 while sitting on her tushy listening to music. Hey, don't feel guilty because you saw an opportunity and took it. Is it fair? No. But it's for the friend to complain not B.
B's birthday today. Her gift was the damn car so yeah I am done. Cards, dinner, and a book sale is what I am doing for her and that's it. I did get her some floor mats (all weather ones) for her car but otherwise she is done.
Whoops, there's my check. Time for bills. Whee.
