Home early from work today since I’m still feeling a little under the weather. My headache and tummy ache from Sunday have evolved into a cold, complete with sneezing and body aches. No fun. On the up-side it’s thunderstorming here this afternoon, which I love. It makes it feel that much cozier inside.
I spoke to the judge I work for this afternoon and he told me that he’s decided to close up his independent practice, meaning that he won’t require my services anymore. He’ll keep me on through March, but that’s it. I have to say I am pretty relieved. It’s been a long time since I felt good about taking his money, since he pays me well and I just don’t have that much to do for him besides answering his phone. I haven’t felt like I’ve earned my keep for quite some time.
I had been thinking about quitting for a while now, but kind of didn’t have the heart to do it, since the judge has treated both Hawk and I so well over the past couple years, and to be honest, it will be $1100 less a month for our household. But now the decision has been made for me and I’m totally OK with it. It might just be time for me to have a talk with my boss at the perfume house about a bit of a raise.
