I'm in the Money...

So I found out Monday that our raises were confirmed for this year... yay! It's not a huge raise, but small is better than none. (Which does NOT apply to everything) Especially considering there were talks that they might be skipped again cuz of possible state education budget cuts. Funny how one of the first things to get chopped in a budget cut is education. Oh well. I just heard in the news recently that Missouri has been rated among the crappiest economies in the country for about five years. Well, I don't think the report quite put it like that, but close enough.

Oh well. The good news is: we got the raises! Even if it's just a cost-of-living bump, it helps keep up with inflation and all. And it just might cover the cost of keepin this place stocked on Peanut M&M's and mints... lol
