Musings on financial success and worry
Jul. 18th, 2003 12:02 amThe last couple of days have gone really well at work. I've been able to keep to average call times that are much lower than my last couple of cycles. I find myself wondering if that's just because I've gotten better at the job, or because I'm now able to transfer a lot of the calls that formerly took up so much time? At any rate, I did quite well yesterday on my two hours of overtime, and did well enough today that it would still put me ahead on calls even without that hour of overtime.
Let's see. The paycheck I get tomorrow has $213 more than it otherwise would, and that's not even counting the overtime I put in. The paycheck I get two weeks from tomorrow should, by my estimates, be $250 more than usual, with about $50 more added for the four hours of overtime I put in this week. And, today, I found I had a $50 cash award on my instant-money cash card—not entirely unexpected, but gratifying. I'm letting that $50 (or, rather, that $29, after the 42% of tax is deducted from it) help compensate for the money I'm spending on that computer. Oh, and I got another 85 call rating the other day.
( You would think I wouldn't worry. But... )
