Raise!

August 23rd, 2006 at 12:59 am

Well, California's minimum wage is going up to $7.50 in January (and later it will be bumped to $8). I just don't know how to handle it. If I stay on The Challenge a year I'll be doing it in January and February only, since I started in March 2006. My inclination is to stay at $6.75 for my Challenge. In the "real world" I wouldn't see the money right away-if it took place the first, depending on how I got paid, I might not see an increase in my check for up to 3 weeks. So my excitement is short lived.

In my Real World, I'm getting a pay raise in October. I was amused that it is the second raise I've had since March 2006 and I won't be able to spend a dime of it.

    Welp, its 7.50$/8$ gross...it probably works out to around 6.75$ net anyway.

    But I'm using net now, so I'm using less than $6.75 now. I'm using about $6.20 net. So it would be a raise.
