Monday is my chill day after all the 

things we do on the weekend, especially when

hubby has on call at work.

Hubby's birthday is tomorrow and he had requested it off

wanting to use a personal day.

With over 17 hours of overtime during this pay period

I didn't think it was a good choice.

His pay period goes from Wednesday to Wednesday.

He called today to let me know he switched

his day off to Friday.  The reason being is

that if he took tomorrow off using a personal day

all his overtime would end up being straight time.

After doing all the calculations for him

I said if you take Tuesday off and just get straight

time you'd be missing out on $330-$400

you would have gotten with overtime.

For his company and many others you have to

actually work 40 physical hours before you

get overtime.  If you throw a holiday, personal day or

sick time in a work week then it goes to straight time.

So plan wisely before taking time off because

you could be missing out.

I was sitting here watching the news when I heard them say,
"We're trying to find a cure."
Don't even remember what they were talking about.
I then turned to hubby and said,
"when was the last cure and what was it for?
They will not find a cure for things and if they
do it will not be available for ordinary people like us.
The reason being is that if they find cures for ailements
and diseases they can't make money off you!!
So for now people keep seeing specialists, doctors,

hospitals and taking all sorts of medicines."

Don't confuse "cures" with "vaccines"

as they are two different things.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

Check THIS out!

I looked up to see when the last known cure was

and what it was for.

It was more than 50 years ago and it was for polio.

Don't you think with all the advancements in

medicine they would have found many more cures by now??!!

Something to think about. 


6:30pm


Hubby was going to get gas and asked if I wanted
to tag along to get some tobacco and tubes at the smoke
shop.  I told him I was good for a couple more days but
he figured kill two birds with one stone so I went.
 I get out of the car and walk up to the door of
the smoke shop.  The people running the place
are escorting a couple people outside telling
them to Get Out!  How nice!
Then upon entering I can smell some kind of
chemical, cleaner or whatever in the air.
I grab my stuff and head to the counter having
a coughing fit from whatever they were doing
in that store.  I could see a ladder on the floor
along with two fans sitting out but not on.
The store is not in the greatest condition which
would explain these items and probably repairs
they were making.  Now I have a scratchy throat
that is irritating me from whatever chemicals
they were using in that store.
It was very strong smelling!
There's no sense in it.  They could of done 
the repairs or cleaning or whatever it was after hours
or just shut down the store at that rate.
