Still struggling up hill...
Found out last week that we're going to get a general raise that gets us up to prevailing wage...for mechanics. That's another $1.06 on top of the previous $18.36. Hooray for a grand total of $19.42 an hour. Only about three dollars short of what I was making on the last two contracts. Of course...it does help that they're stuck paying us an extra $50 a month for hazardous duty pay. Not much.
And...to annoy myself and the only other guy who was here from the contract start...awards were handed out yesterday. To three new guys who don't produce as much, or as well as myself and the other veteran do.
Got to love that level of appreciation.
Still...I'll take the money...
Also...I've lucked out and have only a three day work week next week. Labor day plus the normal three day week end rotation = two three day week ends for the win.
And this evening...I'm torn. If enough people show up to danarchy84's game tonight...I get to play my Pevishan Sorcerer. If not....I get to play my new villain...!
:D
