Weekend - and other things

Ah, here we are. At another weekend. What a week it has been. I was at work on Monday, but was sidelined for the following two days because of a cold. No energy, because lack of sleep, plus I also did not want everyone else to be sick, because I'm a good coworker. So my work week have only been three days long, but that doesn't mean I'm not tired today - because I am. Work today was hectic. I would say it's been the busiest Friday since I started working where I am now. On top of that, we have an election coming up in November, so all the ads have been VERY tiring to listen to. I might just vote what I usually vote.

In other news: I got my payslips today. Yes, payslips. "But Philipsen, you only have one job, right? Why do you get two payslips?", I hear you ask. That's an excellent question. Let me explain: Before I was hired on a permanent basis, I was a temp worker. I switched from working as a temp worker to work full time half way into a pay cycle. That means I am both getting a salary from the temp agency as well as my permanent job. I will not say how much I am getting paid. I will only say this:


Anyway. I'm not doing the job for the money. I'm on the lowest pay bracket, plus I am paying a little more in taxes than I should, which I am perfectly happy to do. That just means money back to me at the end of the tax year. Money I could use for savings, or for my upcoming trip to the USA.

So to sum up: Work is going good, I am happy and healthy.. Well, 98% healthy, anyway.. Life is good. I don't need anything else than that.

Well.. Maybe someone to share it with, but that's a topic for another blog :)
