Quality of Life

This working hourly at salary pay is brilliant. I've discovered that workloads can be heavy at the start of the week since everybody is re-energized due to the weekend and lighter as it approaches the end of the week. Which, i'll say it again, is brilliant.

Take this week as an example. On Monday and Tuesday, I had two 9.5 hour days. After talking with my boss, we decided that I should take Wednesday afternoon off. I had enough time to visit my colleagues at APSU, visit my mom and sister, shop the local bicycle center, build a bicycle caddy for my truck and get 3 miles in before the sun set. Thursday I worked 9 hours and so today I again have to make up some down-time. Hence the 10 am post. I get to take a long break from 10 am until 1:30 pm today. What a great time to clean house! I'm not exhausted from a days work, my mind is still fresh from a night's sleep and, with it being Friday, my email should be light.

Life is good.

Bonus: It struck me while I was out running personal, Friday afternoon errands that I am saving the company money by not working. I deserve a raise.
