.of income and expenditure.
it's once again that time of the month where the bills find their way to my letterbox. and also the time of the month where i commence my countdown to pay check day. but it's also time where i realize that the puffed up bank account inflates for that short span of 2 or 3 days before the money automatically finds their way out. it's been awhile since i've gotten a kick of seeing an inflated bank account. well next time will be next year march if i continue hanging out at thy company. wat are the odds? well the future is not within my control so till then...
a part of me hopes i can hang on.. hang on to get my fair share of the pie.. or watever pie is left after the mouse has gotten hold of their fair-or-not-so-fair share. it's time i get my share.. the share of the pie which will make up for all the unaccounted for inflation. some days it's simply depressing to think of how my value to my company decreases per day. let's see how this works out in my brain.
First let's establish that loyalty is paid off monetarily. Experience grows gradually per day. Inflation rates stands at 7.5% which in my honest opinion is a lot more than that (especially since the most drastic increase in my expenditure has gone to the very expensive fuel that my car consumes.. say from 50bucks for one full tank back in uni days to my 70 bucks for one full tank now. well apparently fuel knows how to peg itself to my earning power) and yearly increment should factor in inflation & loyalty & some form of increase in experience. with that established...
ok so here how my value decreases per day...
my working hours (official hours 9 to 530) have increased from the usual 9-max6 per day to 9 to on an average 7ish per day. so that's a give n take of 2 hours a day of OT.
increment from 2007 -2008 is so pathetic that i must honestly say doesn't even compensate for the inflation rate as announced this year. so that means... my real increment is like NEGATIVE. so where's that tiny weeny percentage that is contributed for loyalty & experienced gain?
so all in all.. doesn't that make me a lot of a cheaper labour to thy company that the actual size of the pay check? the numeric value may have increased but the real value of it seems to have decreased.

maybe that seems to help me understand why my pay check doesn't seem to comfortably pay off my bills. and a mental estimate positively affirms that.

it's a sad life.. all so suddenly when everything dawns upon you...
