On a different note...


A couple of weeks ago I learned how to do 'stranded' or two color knitting...

This is what I am currently working on... I took a pattern that I saw on knitty and am doing the color work into a smallish bag, one that is large enough to hold a business card type wallet, (approx. 2 1/2 x 3 inches) an ipod or mp3 player, a cell-phone, and small ring of keys...

The fun part with this too, is that in addition to doing the color work, I am also doing it on 2 circulars!!

What I have to say to you is this...

If I stay past 5 p.m... I will be fired...

(and my thought is this... can you afford to pay me... oh lets see... $5,000 a month because you asked me to stay just a 'few minutes' to close a ticket... no... aw gee)

What I want to say to you is this...

REMINDER…

The scale house hours are

Monday – Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

I have been requested several times to “stay for just a few minutes extra” over the last several months… I have been reluctant about charging any thing, as I didn’t want to continue a bad habit that was started before I came to the scale house.

However, effective immediately, my rate for staying “a few minutes extra” will be $50.00 (Fifty dollars) per hour or portion there of. Example, if I stay for 10 minutes extra, the payment will be $50.00 if I stay for and hour and 10 minutes the payment will be $100.00, and so on. I also request that the payment be in cash, and paid at the time the service is rendered. I feel that this is only fair, as I am open and 98% of the time available for your company as well as others for 9 hours a day, Monday thru Thursday, and 8 ½ hours on Fridays. I generally do not take a lunch, and if I do go for lunch, it is going somewhere and getting it to go.
