GO NOLES!!! #Undefeated
ok, now on to the blog hops and Monday Quiz About Me :)
Monday Quiz About Me is over here at Acting Balance. i am so glad they decided to keep this going for 2014!
1. It's National Hobby Month - will you be starting a new hobby or just keeping up with current ones? What are your hobbies?---keeping up with my current ones. i may pick back up reading at least an hour a night.
2. January 6th is Bean Day - what is your favorite bean? Bean recipes to share?---i like black eyed peas (that is a bean right?) i also really like black beans. no real recipe to share just seasoned salt and black pepper often does the trick.
3.
Wayne got a question from a student yesterday... and we'd love your
input - "I just got good news - I got a promotion into management - the
problem now is that that I've moved to a salary position after working
hourly. I used to get paid for overtime so now I make less money - what
should I do?"---i would take the management job. it is an improvement looks better on the resume and perhaps now you are getting benefits like paid time off and health care that you may not have been getting as an "hourly" worker. sometimes the benefits you get are better than the pay and though it is a loss in pay, you have to look at what you would be paying out of pocket for things like health care and when you take time off, you would not be paid, but as salary worker, you still would.
4. Have you ever bought a gift that you regretted giving later?---not really, i think i am good at gifts. now those white elephant exchange gift parties...i could have done better :)
ok, now let's check at this neat blog Still being [Molly] for some funday Monday!! there are some super cute fashion ideas and blogs. go and have some fun!

You are so right about the benefits to a salaried job as opposed to an hourly one. I transferred to salary last year and got another promotion within six months - something I wouldn't have had a chance at had I not have been salary already.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new promotion! Yea, i took a salary job and yes, it is less in pay, but i get paid time off and free health care as i am still a "single" woman. so that is a huge bit of money saved on my part.
DeleteGetting an hour to read at night sounds like a good plan to me. I will have to try it.
ReplyDeleteRNT, yes it is. I keep downloading books to my kindle fire but not reading them. That will change :)
DeleteI still can't decide who I'm rooting for in the FSU game.. Haha ;)
ReplyDeleteM&M haha! good one! Root for the Florida team!! :) Will you be watching the game?
DeleteWe don't have cable. I wish we did because DH would love to watch some of the college bowl games. It was nice to meet you!

Cathy, I hope your DH at least got some of the highlights of the game. It was a good one and nail bitter down to literally the last seconds (13 sec to be exact!)
