I was just about to go to bed without my nightly dose of Ten Cats. I worked hard yesterday – people were shopping and messing up the Christmas department faster than I could straighten it up.
On the good side, though, I printed out my pay stub yesterday (we get paid on Wednesday this week instead of Thursday because of the holiday). My check was so much higher than I expected it to be, I nearly fell over. We recently go a raise of $1 an hour, which applies to all associates. We were told at the time that the raise was taking the place of our quarterly “My Share” bonuses. The bonus can amount from as little as nothing at all to $500 or even more. We usually seem to get between $150 and $400 (it varies a LOT). So we were told that the bonus we got 3 months ago was going to be our last one. Not so! We got a bonus on this week’s check. My bonus was a little over $500! I was in a pretty good mood after seeing that! Now that I got the new roof on my house – all paid for and everything, and I got the downstairs bathroom fixed and the ceiling in the front room fixed and the new water heater that I got this year, my project for spring will be replacing a couple windows. How many windows I replace will depend on how much it all costs. But $500 is a good addition to my window replacement fund!

And I will NOT be buying a Cadillac!
