WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT...woot

CAN I SAY WOOT AGAIN? .... okay, i will FREEKING WOOT

Not only did council approve that new benifit restructuring thing [which means I get to cash out more unused benifits to the tune of $207.18 a paycheck] .... BUT, they approved an across the board raise of 4% for all employees!!!!! i'm getting another raise!!!

So, the first paycheck I'll get in January will have me at $15.22 an hour.... and i'll still get around 6% in MAY for my annual review!!!!! and get this, next year they are doing another across the board raise of 3.5% !!!!! its like getting a "I'm done with college" raise....

oh ya, and besides that cool calpers pension that I only pay 1% into and the city pays the other 6%.... they are opening a 401(a) account of 1% base pay inaddition to my Calpers pension....

THE CITY WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID! Man was i an ambitious genius at 16 when i got hired on as a babysitter in the darn gym... worked my way to the desk... got promotted to a lifeguard... and took a leap at Specialist status.... YEAH!!!!!!!

So, what does that mean for the average paycheck? If i base the amount of taxes taken out on a similar paycheck, it looks like i'll be taking home around $1,181.73 a paycheck after taxes and junk have been removed. An Extra $155.14 a month!
