Payday! Hurrah!
LAst year, my wage was CY£550 per month. Which is a damn good wage in this country- equivalent at the time, to about £750 a month. So my boss, kindly I suppose, decided to give me a pay raise this summer.
"So you were on £550 last summer, right?"
"Yes, I think so.."
"Ok! Time for a pay raise! You're nearly a graduate and you've saved my life, so lets say £600?"
"Ooh! Ok! Thank you!"
He hands me 600....
...in Euros..
So, 600 euros is what, £400 pounds? Should I mention that Cyprus has changed from Cyprus pounds to Euros since last summer? So I should be getting 900-1000 euros...?
Not that I'm working here for the money. If I wanted to earn lots I'd keep doing what I do in Edinburgh- part time CAD technician, part time sous chef. Between the two I get about £300 a week when full time.
Other news: I'm succumbing to total geek-hood and embarking on a new hobby. Film making. I've started making little paper based stories for songs I like which aren't on youtube. I'm officially a sad sack. Oh well! I can be an underpaid sad sack now.
