Today was my first day on case rate instead of hourly pay. My fear was that I wouldn't reach my 70 cases. I made it plus a few more. Made an extra $15. Not fantastic but sure not turning it down! Means I made extra money in the same time frame.
Then got offered an earlier shift for one day tomorrow. Which means a chance for a higher case count, depending on how the calls come in. (Not sure of that on a holiday week but was happily surprised today.) It also means I get off work while there's still a little sunlight left. So I can finish cleaning the top of the engine block, so it will be ready to put back together on Thur.
Guess I'll work on inside projects at night. Would have done that tonight but had to go to Walmart. Ordered some new file folders to help get things more organized. That was a bit of a mistake. Wound up standing in line for about an hour because of someone in front of me with their head up their ass. I actually walked away, went and shopped for a few other items and took my time at that. Came back and they were still there. For another 10 minutes. Then two more people putting things in layaway. Of course, the first one waited to get to the counter and then pulled out her cell phone.
Going to take daughter to Cliff's amusement park this weekend. It was going to be a surprise. I've known about it for months and held it back from daughter. Then the ex opened her mouth this weekend and spoiled it. I hissed at her. Oh, well.
Meanwhile, my older brother's killer was convicted of manslaughter rather than murder. This, after he stabbed my brother twice in the chest and twice in the back. His mother lied in court about the events that day, surprising even the defense and prosecuting attorneys. Her testimony went completely against the statements she had made for the past 1 1/2 years.
Then my younger brother, whom I have not spoken to in years, contacted me on FB. Claims he doesn't understand why I won't talk to him. Says he doesn't remember the phone call he made accusing me of things I never did, talking about writing a book (You have to be literate to do that, don't you?) and talking about going on Jerry Springer. With him, that's no surprise.
Seeing better thermal gain from the solarium now that the winds have calmed down. Peak temperature in the solarium today reached about 90 degrees, while the ambient temperature was under 50 degrees.
Been seeing a lot of dead mice around lately. Not sure just why. One was inside the house and probably ate some of the mouse poison. Another was in the back yard and may have been killed by the dogs. Then I saw another one in front of the house, where the dogs couldn't get to it and it's not likely from the poison. Haven't noticed any signs of any more inside the house.
Okay, I need to get to bed.
