Brewing

Thoughts, that is.

A bit tired on this Monday evening. Was a long day, but we got a lot done. Did some shopping, I made fish and chips for dinner, got some healthy writing in, some e-mails, some editing, some notes, uploaded our Seven Rila Lakes photos to Facebook, made some changes here and there, worked out, and now I'm relaxing.

Busy week this week. Busy month, as I stated in my last post. I actually didn't get everything done today that I wanted to, mostly because we had a few loose ends to tie up. The rest of the week should go fairly smoothly, schedule-wise.

Evy had a rough day at work. She just found out that her boss's son, who works 3 hours a day, forgets things all the time, and basically has every single woman in the clinic shaking their heads in frustration at him on a daily basis, is getting paid more than double what she is getting paid for working 40-45 hours a week. Nothing like an unfair situation.

I may not have agreed with my dad over the years but the one thing he most certainly never did was coddle me. I never got paid more than the other guys. I was given a fair wage, but I was also given double the work load and the responsibility because I was expected to be more reliable than anyone else. He also rode my ass twice as hard as any other employee, which led to me being fired or quitting at least 4 times over 8 years.

In any case, she is also "brewing" in the sense that she is one step closer to make a final decision about her job by the end of August. They are supposedly having a group meeting on Wednesday to discuss what, she isn't sure. But she is extremely upset about the situation with her boss's son.

I know he's a nice kid and all, but he's completely unreliable. It's too long to go into here, but he's the kind of kid who just wants to party all the time. He's failed his entrance exams into college something like 3 times now. He lives at home with his parents. He's 22 or 23. They pay for all his bills. He never remembers things at work. Evy is constantly cleaning up after him in terms of his accounting screw ups. He constantly shorts or overpays people on payroll, and I mean constantly. Every week. He only comes in for 2-3 hours a day at MOST, yet he's making more than double what Evy makes working full-time. How is that fair?

Not to mention, Evy doesn't make mistakes. She is analytical to the point of insanity when it comes to being organized and detail-oriented. The doctors and other girls praise her for these skills on a daily basis. She is always on time. She stays late, all the time. She fixes his mistakes on a daily basis. And on top of doing his job + her job she also has the added responsibility of doing procedures, something he doesn't do. Yet she makes less than half of what he makes? How is that fair?

In any case...there's stuff brewing on the horizon for both of us :) I'm swamped, already got another project getting lined up for mid-August into September, and we are one step closer to launching Evy's Etsy shop (Finally!). We have two of the bird-houses done, two of the floral wall pictures done, and we still have a couple of jewelery boxes, a wall-mounted key-holder, jewelery, and several other sundries to finish up by the end of August.

That's my rambling notation for Monday. Cheers!
