The Universe Is Out To Get Me


we all got a 2$/hr raise yesterday on our paychecks! good news! ya, so I figured, time for that new cell phone- but then on the way home last night, the brakes began to make that crunchy sound.... damn! guess that cell phone will still be there next month oh well, there's still cold pizza in the fridge that my teen didn't find! breakfast! LOL

na, about average- was 28, now 30/hr + bens I think its a refection of the huge shortage of trades people here- he wants to keep his team(s) happy I think - (roughly 50+ people?)

Just on Fridays. On Wednesdays, we go after Malco. I think we're free on Thursday if you feel like your teen needs some grief.
