02 February 2007

I am gainfully employed [More:]for the first time in years.

Yesterday, my boss and I were taking a smoke break. He asks me if I had run payroll yet. I say no, it's next on my endless list of tasks. He tells me to go into the Employees table and give myself a $3 raise before I run this period.

Just like that. I'm through my probationary period. For the first time in years, I can make the mortgage payment out of a single paycheck.

[Villagers rush out into the street waving bottles of wine and loaves of bread. Young girls dance about scattering flower petals from baskets. Everybody sings the "La La La" song.]

Life is good.
Woo. Yay.

"Three" sounds an awful lot like "Nine" if maybe, you've ermm got a cold or something.
