You must not live here in the United States. It goes up a lot more then 3%.Unless you are talking about people on Soc. Sec. It has been a few years sience we got a raise. As of Jan. 2012 we will get on & it is bearly 3%.
I done that once. I lacked $10.00 to have enough to buy a BB gun. A neighbor was over at the house and asked me what I’d charge to mow a three acre pasture with my Dad’s David Bradley walk behind sickle mower (you country boys will know what that is). Thinking only of the $10.00 I needed to buy the gun, I blurted out $10.00. He probably would have paid $50.00 but he and Dad held me to it. Took a week.
@Dogsniff, Grog, Hobbes, et al- I always wondered about the elusive “delete” option I’ve seen mentioned, but saw it firsthand today as I reread a comment I submitted and noticed a typo. Could it be back? At least on a small scale? You guys know how it used to work; I don’t.
the few times we got snow, I shoveled for my building manager, a senior-aged lady. None of the men in my building offered. I;m older now, and the new building manager is younger and eye candy – if it snows, I’m sure he will be quite capable.

Note to self: the offer is never as good as it sounds, either.

Define “a bit” before taking the job.

I never got a raise for shoveling. Consider yourself lucky.

10% of something is more than 100% of nothing.

As a kid in Rochester N.Y. I would make money shoveling snow around the neighborhood. My allowance was .25 a week. You figure it out…

The only way to shovel out of that is to make a wet mess in the house!
