ten minutes.

I have ten minutes.

I worked 9.25 hours today. 8:30-5:45
Not sure where this sudden motivation to work outside my usual regimented 8-4 shift came from. I want a motorcycle. I want Lorea to ride on the back of my motorcycle and drive really fast down long country roads. I also want a BMW 3 series from the late 80’s, the ones with the classy round headlights. I want more of this travel/vacation business. Cuba was great. I never went away anywhere by myself before. And why not? I figure I should go on a trip like that every 6 months.

I got a raise today. Ted mentioned he had to talk to me about something. I was like, “uh oh.” called him after work. He was playing baseball. He told me I have two options. Either take the rest of my $1000 bonus with this paycheck, or start my new wage with this pay period. Either way i will get both eventually, just i have to pick which i want for this paycheck, cause he has a lot of expenses to pay out this week. And that was that: He gave me a raise. I wanted one a couple months ago. A couple months ago i was selfishly dying for a raise. But what he offered out of the blue is much higher than what i would have asked for. He told me I am very valuable to him and he wants to make it very lucritive for me to continue to work for him. He told me he is so grateful to have me as a employee and that the work i do is great. I was smiling the biggest smile through all of this.

Rush rush rush. work, shower, jam. work, shower, sushi, meeting, jam. work, shower, jam, meeting. that has been the last two days. got to go. ten minutes.
