Work is speeding up again. Finally. I earned at least an extra $140 this week with no extra hours put in. Today was the first I heard of OT being offered this year. However, it was only for the weekend. Good sign, though. Most likely it means more OT will start being offered during the week.
If nothing else, if I can earn an average extra $100 a week on extra cases, that's $200 a check and over $5000 a year. Okay, considering slow months and vacation time, maybe more like $3500 a year. That is only counting net pay, not gross. So, not complaining if I can do that without the extra hours. If things pick up more, I can increase that, too. Today was my first day of 90 cases in months. I was doing that on an average a few months ago. If it keeps at this rate daily, I can earn as much as $200 extra per week. So the possibility of doubling the above estimate.
The new trackball finally came in today. That one kind of pissed me off. The Walmart site said it would be available for pickup the same day I ordered it. Then it took 3 days to come in, even though it was in stock at another local store. During that time, the old mouse was driving me crazy. Big relief to have the trackball.
In addition to the circus this weekend, decided to take daughter to It'z Pizza. Got a special in email for buffet and unlimited rides and games (except reward games), 2 for one price. We haven't been there in a long time and since the tax refund came in, it's only fair. She's a good girl who deserves rewards. Not so much she gets overtly spoiled but enough to enjoy life and not think I don't care about her.
I do worry she may think I spend more on the garden than on her. Definitely not true. I would like it if she took more active part in it with me but it does tend to be some work. Since she works at school all week and sees the garden as work, I won't push it.
However. I still want to organize her room. Figured out a way to get some cooperation. Going to turn it into a party. Make popcorn, drag out boxes and sort through them together this Sunday. We can go through objects and memories all at once. Should be fun. I think that may be why she has avoided it. I think it's why I have avoided it to some point. Better we do it together.
