P*ssed off.

For f*cks sake, how hard is it to pay someone the right amount of money?

Two months in a row now I've been under-paid, and it's ridiculous. All they have to do is log into on-line banking and update a payment! It takes, what, 3 minutes? Oh, but no! According to the MD it's not being underpaid, it's being paid in two parts ... so that's how it's going to work from now on is it? I get my old pay on the 26th, which is the day our pay gets transferred (I've been told this on multiple occasions) and the rest days later because "salaries are supposed to be paid on the last day of the month". Whatever.

It's completely unprofessional, and to fix it all they'd have to do is say "Sorry, I made a mistake, I'll make sure it's sorted for next month, and you'll have the rest of this months before the end of the week".

Also, in the last 12 months, I've had one pay slip. ONE! Oh, but that's OK, because my P60 covers all of them from October to March! Doesn't matter that I might need April to Septembers, or a years worth for a mortgage application, or something ...

Not happy.

Raggy Dolls

Raggy dolls, raggy dolls, dolls like you and me ... Ahh memories!

It was a very close friend of mine's 30th birthday on Monday, and on Friday we're going out on the town in fancy dress. I've decided to go as Lucy from Raggy Dolls (I have long hair, so going as a girl actually makes sense ... the fact I enjoy wearing skirts and bits is neither here nor there!) and DW is going as Dot. She's on the look-out today for a nice dungaree dress and white & green socks for me, and pink dungarees for her. Hopefully she'll pick up some yellow ribbon for our hair too :o)

In other news, it's been a nice week. Work has been relatively quiet (but one of the MDs is due back in the office today, so all hell could break loose), choir practice was nice last night - out leader was back in action after having a operation on his foot a few months ago, and I forgot how cruel he can be (in a good way)! I completed Yuri's revenge recently, and since WB's birthday he seems to have lost interest in playing Red Alert 2, he's playing TFC and Plants vs Zombies instead. TJ is being a little pain in the bum, although nursery seems to be doing some good, even if it's just giving DW a few hours of peace with KK. Speaking of which, KK seems to be a bit clumsy lately, we wonder if she's getting an ear infection, time will tell.

Nothing else to report really, me & DW are into The Sims 2 again, what a black hole for time that game is! Tis fun though. I might give Red Alert 3 a go soon, I remember is being really annoying, so we'll see.

Right, I best get some work done, and a nice light blue dress bought for Friday seen as DW didn't have any luck in town. I shall write again soon.

Toodles!

Edit: Here's photos of us both in costume!

First Day

Just another quickie to say that I took TJ to his first day at nursery today. He really enjoyed it (didn't want to come home), and he'll be back again on Monday. Was nice to see him at "school", but he didn't really interact with the other kids, thought I'm sure that'll come with time :o)

Nine-Twelve

Well, yesterday was a big anniversary, but today is far more important to me - it's WB's birthday!!
