Good news

From the powers that be at my work, they have just made my finantial problems a bit easier to deal with. Prior to my overnight shift Saturday, dispatchers were working on a dual pay scale. For the times when I was working I was paid my full wage, for times when I was sleeping, and/or not doing anything pertinent to work, I was paid a resting rate of $7.50 (it's on the honor system anyway, that being said, I only recored about 1/5 of the actual hours I was on resting time).

Anywho, the resting time rate is a thing of the past. Meaning that all of my hours will be on my full pay rate, where as in the past on average about 20% of my hours were taking money away from me. So that helps, but I'm still on the grind looking for some supplemental work. Tomorrow, I will get back on that track, as today I spent time catching up on some well needed sleep, and trying to gain back the weight I have lost over the weekend playing baseball.

Other than that, it's going to be a pretty uneventful week. I have no baseball, and I have no work scheduled, so I plan on getting a jump on packing up for my move, and I will look to find a second job, and/or just getting some extra hours at my current job (if I can get them).

Today's lesson: Speak after you know. Know what you speak.
