So...Shit Happens.
I found out last Friday that work fucked up my paycheck. And not just for the last check - no way, that would be too fuckin' easy, ya know? No, they've been paying me at the flat-rate for call-floor reps ($9.21/hour) when I was supposed to be makin' $11.50/hour since 06/29 - that's almost a whole two fuckin' months here, people!
However, on the upside, after all my overtime is taken into consideration, my take-home on this coming Friday should be right around $1300. It woulda been more, but the OT's been a little more limited since 08/01 than it was back in June.
Mom and me are going to take a 3-day weekend to the Grand Canyon, and provided my camera holds out, I'll have some pics when I get back. Hopefully. Either the camera will fuckin' work or I'm just gonna break down and use my back-pay to buy a decent SLR (*laughs at the mental image of Mom trying to use a digital SLR with all the trimmings* - she had issues with the old Kodak 35-mm we used to have back when cameras still used film). Last I checked, Best Buy had a pretty decent 10-MP SLR for $500. Upside to it would be that the camera doesn't generally care which lens apparatus is used and Nikon's got some nice staying power... If anyone else has a better suggestion, I'll take it under advisement.
