My First Pay Packet
December 27th 2006 09:04
It's ridiculous, but tonight I got my first pay packet in months, and I feel like a kid again.
Unfortunately, because my mother died at the beginning of last week, on the 17th, I couldn't work last week as planned, so the pay packet was rather reduced. Still, precious mothers come first, and the loss of a week's pay was nothing compared to the loss of her. (She'd lived with us for 22 years, and was very special to the whole family, especially my children, who grew up with her always being around.)
I also got a box of chocolates as a small Christmas present from the company. These things take on far more importance when you haven't had that kind of consideration in a long time.
