Today's News

Today at work, the rumor mill indicated that our salaries would be cut by the state. That won't be so bad if the city appropriate funds to us for the quarter. The difference is this. If the state cuts salaries, then I will miss about $150.00 out of each paycheck. If the city does not give the office any money for the quarter, then my salary could be reduced by $10,000.00. Talk about bad news to start the new year right. I am somewhat numb to the whole thought of it. I'm not worried about it like I should be I suppose. Last year was crappy, so why should I expect anything better for this year. I have adapted the "expect the worst" attitude. That way I won't be as disappointed when it happens. I went to the gym tonight to work off some tension. When I came home, I took a nice hot bath. Afterwards, I started typing my writing sample so that I could put my resume packet together. Maybe all of the signs are there telling me that it is time to move on. The good news in my day was that the bedroom set that was destroyed can be replaced at a lower price. I went back to the place where I purchased the furniture and spoke with the manager. He told me that he would sell the bedroom set to me for $1,099.00. I paid about $3,500.00 for the one that was damaged in the storm. Talk about a deal. I will see. If my salary is only decreased by the small amount, then I will consider purchasing it. If not, then its on the road again I guess.
