wanderings and small victories

Finished work early today so I indulged my self. I went into town and just chilled. I also bought a small wedding gift for a good friend i met on line.

while I was in town my wife rang to say that I had been underpaid for my work last weekend so i called into the agency. Yep they had had problems because the work I'm doing doesn't fit into any of their pre-defined categories, they have sorted it out and I will get paid BUT she then told me that they had reduced the payment per mile for my driving on the advice of a colleague at another office. I told them that they were already getting a very good deal from me and that their colleague was taking the p*ss. I said that i wasn't prepared to work for such a low amount.

Hehe, they increased the payment!

they rang me today and said that they have now established the company's official milage rate at 18 pence per mile, they originally offered 14pence and I said 20 pence so I'm wavering.
