I see it's been a whole week since I posted. I don't like that feeling. It was as though I couldn't come up for air the whole week. Blech.
So now Sunday is here is the weekend is coming to a close and off I'll go again for another packed week at school.
DS1 is gone for hockey this weekend. We packed him up yest morning and he'll be home by about 10 tonight. DS2 has scouts today. Out for the afternoon in the very fresh outdoors.
It snowed here lightly yesterday morning. Not fluffy and soft but hard little bits. It didn't last but it sure was depressing to see it. I am not ready for winter to come.
We got paid last week. The 'raise' was on there but with all the wonkyness of fall paycheques, it's hard to tell how much really. EI and CPP are maxed out so they were not on there. Annual association fees came off on this cheque so it was different. The raise would represent year two of the contract as the contract actually expired in 2010. I guess in January when the 'normal' cheques begin again with full deductions, I will know better what two years worth of raise will be. maybe. always fun times :-)
This morning is a morning of fast laundry and cleaning and then it's off to the school for the afternoon to mark, plan, catch up and all those fun things.
Enjoy your Sunday. stay warm
Tuesday, Nice weekend!

Yeah for raises! It can be a pain not to know exactly what the pay will be.
I'm not ready for winter either. Yesterday snow. Today, sunny and high 50's. Crazy weather!
I'm in the same situation as you - I can't budget for next year yet as I don't know WHAT I'll be earning come January and FULL deductions again. We are in the final year of a 4 year contract so it'll be back to the negotiating table next year. I can't imagine getting any kind of raise with our next contract the way the economy is so have no hopes there. If we do get anything it'll be a nice bonus!
Raises are great! But I know how you feel. I'll be getting a "big bump" in the spring time, that is what my work said. But I don't really know what a big bump is. So it's hard for me to budget for next year.
