In which I talk about work.

I was informed today that I have received a raise.

A raise of one quarter per hour. Yes, a whole quarter. Per hour! That’s two dollars a day, if you do the math!

I haven’t gotten a raise of less than a dollar in years. But then again the last two places I worked promised reviews but rarely managed to conduct them. This company is going to review me every three months for my first year, so if I get a quarter every time that’ll be my dollar and all will be well.

I was also informed today that I now work Saturdays. (Note: This means I am working six days this week. Go me.) Tuesday through Saturday: that’s my new schedule. Tuesday through Friday I work noon to nine, and on Saturday I work nine to six.

I told admin that I would do this cheerfully for a few months, but as soon as the weather gets nice I’ll start bitchin’ about it. They said they’d be prepared to discuss it by then. Right now my schedule hardly matters, but I can’t be workin’ on Saturdays if I’m gigging on Friday nights come spring!
