Sorry for the lack of updates. Not that anyone reads this anyway. I just realized that last December was the first month in which I had no posts. That needs to change. I need to post at least once a week. I guess that can be my new year's resolution.
It's not like I've been busy or anything. Just work. I usually work 56 hours a week, so I have some time to post once in a while. In my last post, I stated a few benefits of my new job. I forgot to mention a few of the better ones. I get a weeks paid vacation. I get a certain number of holidays paid. I get a yearly bonus if the company is profitable. My health insurance goes down from 150 bucks a month to 80 bucks a month. Um, I think that's about it. I'm probably forgetting something, but those are the ones that come to mind.
I've had a fairly nice weekend. Just being watching sports all weekend basically. Two footballs games yesterday, along with a few hockey games, and one basketball game. I watched both football games today and now I'm watching the Blackhawks/Devils game. Some people need to be on the go constantly, but I am perfectly content staying at home relaxing. Not necessarily a good thing, I do need to get out more, but such is life.
Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. day. I don't get it off because I'm not black. The blacks get all the breaks.... Just kidding. While it would be nice to have tomorrow off, I just got done with having six days off in a nine day period. Besides, I have to wait 60 days (from the date that I was hired) to get paid for observed holidays, so I wouldn't get paid for tomorrow anyways. The first holiday that I'll get paid for is Easter, so I'll be looking forward to that. You get eight hours of straight time on holidays, which is damn nice for not working a single hour.
Oh, I added that moon thing on Friday the 13th. I found it surfing the net, thought it was cool, and the rest is history. It is now on my blog. Enjoy.
Well this update was a very productive one. I think I'll leave it at that. Good day everyone. I SAID GOOD DAY!

80 bucks a month is a lot more reasonable for health insurace. Yeesh! Move to a cheaper state, would ya.
ReplyDeleteOr don't get sick.
Or I could move to Canada and get free health insurance. How's that working out for you?
ReplyDeleteIt is anything but "free". Honestly, that is a myth perpetrating by those who wish to advance the cause of publically funded medicare.
ReplyDeleteSince I was in school for two years, and did not make a lot of money my first year out, I am still fully covered for my medicare. When I file my income taxes this year, the government will realize that I am just barely over the the poverty line, and I will begin paying a monthly premium. I think I will be in the "20%" discount range, so I will be paying 40-45 dollars a month - hardly free. I also pay more taxes than any man should have to pay. When I look at my paycheque, I simply want to cry at how much gets taken off. And did I mention the wait times? Heaven help you if you need a hip replacement or knee surgery in Canada. Last year I waited two months to get a hernia operation, a relatively simple procedure that I could have had within days in the US. Your 80 dollars a month is spent a lot better than my 45, trust me.
