Hey, im good just getting ready for my trip,lol.

hmm, yes, well this is the beginning of 2012, so you have lots of time to adjust things by Dec, like depositing into a TSSA, or making an RRSP contributions, or simply quitting the 2nd job part way through the year. Also you could put $$ away to prepare for the big tax bill owing so you will have the $$ to pay when the time comes.
I am sure there is ways to reduce the tax due if you plan a strategy now.

So Federal employees do not get it, ( meaning me CP) but it is statutory just the same. Ya check that out, don't want to miss out on that O.T.

now that makes more sense. Yes at time and a half, go for it!!! Easy money.

Wait, will they not pay you for the Family Day off at the 2nd job? I thought that was the whole point, to have a paid day off? Oh well, see what they say I guess.

My first day back is on Family Day! lol! And CP does not get Family Day off, too weird eh?
Nice for you to relax till job #2 time

hello winstar Are you already at work?

yes! That is the " pretty " part I meant. Once it is all trudged over and dirty, it is very unpleasant.

aw, sorry winstar, you obviously have a much longer wider driveway. We are fortunate that way, share a small one with my neighbour. Stay warm. I just thought looking at the trees yesterday, they looked so nice.

you are making perfect sense ...for a crazy person! lol!! I think you feel that when you are working you realize how much time is wasted when you are idle, maybe?? Either way, you sound very happy, isn't the snow pretty?

why you smiling smiley?

It is always a trade off isn't it winstar? That paycheck helps you to forget the suffering, lol.

I am taking it easy, perhaps too easy, getting very lazy. Oh well work will fix that right? Gotta say, you are going very strong with the employment marathon! wtg!

hi win! ( I am not saying hello, I am saying I am high on pain pills!! lol) I am kidding. I am mello though.

hello hello

It is almost like a summer day, right? People are smiling and shopping and driving all polite! ha ha

you said it! Have you been out in that sun? Just had DH go with me for a few grocery items, but it is unbelievable!

Sounds like your plan has worked beautifully to me. You are healthy, which is great you caught no colds or flu, seems you are just a tad tired maybe, you are saving the hard earned cash for now..very smart! That is also great that you have O.T opportunity, O.T. is not always available where I am. Just depends.
For me, I am NOT going to complain but I am not feeling 100%, so I limit my time here to avoid stiffening up further. Other than that all is pretty good.

winny I am look for lean cuisine/stouffers pins do you buy them at your place?

winnyyyy I am good and you? how is work? miss me ahhh

I thought you did,lol. but maybe thats because I'm not around much and thats why I didn't see you.

do you ever start playing a game, and then all of a sudden it seems boring? That just happened in there! Weird cuz I like that game too. Oh I am very happy for you and that extra $$ to tuck away! Way to go!

hello win, I might play some bubbleshooter OR I might wash the kitchen floor??? lol

well, DH and I ventured out last night after 6, and the 2 of us had some plans for this and that at a few stores, then after finishing up at WM he goes , let's go home, it's too cold! So we did. lol

ha ha I was trying to post that funny pic that DH altered, but you were in there too!
Very sunny, but I am not going out today, no need to.

I remember when an entire family would only have one and it would last a long time. ( lots of repairs though) We never had a family car when I grew up, so I thought families with cars were very very rich! lol
