I got a raise today

When Pamela Anderson walked by. TMI ?

But seriously. I was at work today struggling as I have for this past year. I’m one very, very tired schizophrenic. At 55 and having paranoid schizophrenia for 35 years and having a bad back and suffering from fatigue I am one tired schizophrenic.

But anyways, I was vacuuming the office building I work in today and my supervisor walks up to me and tells me the boss wants to see me. Instant dread hit me; my first thought was that I was going to get fired for being so slow or for being so late to work a few times this past three weeks. So I trudged into the office. Well, the boss hands me a paper to read. It said something about wages that I didn’t understand. I make $11.00 an hour at my janitor job. He starts explaining the letter.

My company is contracted in to work on this army base. The boss tells me that we are now going to get payed what every contractor in our city or the state makes. My boss tells me we are all going to be getting $14.00 an hour now!!! A $3.00 an hour raise!! Holy crap Batman!!. Like the old saying, “Sh*t happens” but for once its positive. Anyways, I’m pretty happy right now. The weekends here I got the good news and things are calm. Yippy! Have a nice night people.
