at work, we are doing major remodeling, and at the same time are short handed. the office furniture needed moving on friday, but there was no time. my boy and i volunteered to do a couple hours today (saturday) for cash in hand. the rate was 25/hour. after 2 1/2 hours work, we got paid and left.

it wasn't until about three hours later i actually counted the cash given (i wasn't going to be rude and count it back to my manager).

it was actually twice the rate of 50/hour. didn't set right with me.

so i just texted him about 20 minutes ago thanking him for such a rate, but told him if it was a mistake, i understood.

indeed, it was a mistake on his part. he is on some pain meds from a slip at work, and didn't realize what he did. i told him no worries, ill bring the excess cash to work on monday.

i joke about things, am sarcastic about things, but in the end, i want to sleep knowing i did the right thing.

and i know one day, when things may get tough for me, he will be in my corner if need be.

**** YOU AND **** KARMA!!!!!!!!

after all that, our family takes a two hour trip to the parklea markets......yyyyuuuuge indoor market... something like 300 stalls of knockoff products and produce, but after three hours of shopping all hell breaks loose...

the only good thing was it was a two car caravan.

my car wouldn't ****ing start, and it was two hours from home. i don't have that kind of money.

our oldest boy bless his heart... taxis enough of the kids to the train station (which unbeknownst to us adults, the train tracks were under construction, so they had to get on a bus with a suicidal driver for an hour, to meet up with the train in penrith.) and came back to us.

we are home now, but i now have to coordinate, over a three hour span, being able to be at my car soon enough that the mechanic wont be long, but not soon enough as to be there and end up waiting for five hours.

i feel like sending my car keys to him via post, fixing it, billing us, and THEN go down to get it, but being its in a private parking structure, it would be MY LUCK, i would get billed for it being parked too long....



it can only happen to me

sorry for the discombobulation of a post, but its jimply been one of those days
