I'm not going to gripe about the money, though.  Faire is coming with the holidays right behind it. :o

Ahhh I gotcha! More moolah is always good!

I still wrestle back and forth as to whether it's better to be hourly or salaried. I don't do as many weekends as I did when I was hourly. But when I do I can help but think..."I'm doin' this crap for free!"  :D

Gotta think about OT as well.

could be worse. I remember the first contract DynCorp ever offered me- I looked at the money and practically jumped, since it was the most I had ever made in a year... then I looked at the work schedule- 6 days a week, 12 hours a day- and realized that I was going to earn that extra digit before the comma. No overtime, only two weeks vacation AFTER the first 330 days of the contract, yada yada.
But, at least the first $80k was untaxed  ;D

Still headed out to faire tomorrow, mostly to work on the forge, but we'll toot around the site and get some pics to post here as well. Anyone have any requests?
