I didn't get a raise. I did get an extra 40 hours of vacation time though...... But that is just cause this is my 15th year with the company.
In other news, I worked more hours in 2017 than I ever have before and worked harder than ever before while working those hours. I went back through all 52 of my weekly paycheck records and found that I worked overtime 47 weeks out of the 52 weeks in 2017. And of the 5 weeks without working overtime 3 of them were weeks that I was on vacation. It sucked ***. The reward comes tomorrow though as I pay off the remaining balance on my truck. I bought a brand new truck (only 5 miles on it) at the end of october 2016. Have been working as much as possible ever since and paying about 1300 dollars per month on the loan. Tomorrow im finally done paying on it. Just passed the 7,000 mile mark on the odometer yesterday. Whooo mutha ****ing hoooo!!!!!!!

If companies continue to do this through out 2018 that will be a huge campaign point for the Rs in 2018.

As for Walmart, I really like their new program of contributing up to 5k for an employee trying to adopt. That is really cool. Way to many kids looking for a home and so many potential homes for them are excluded due to the cost. Wish more companies would do this.

He, and the Rs as a group, has a golden opportunity to make major, major inroads with Latino voters. It looks like immigration reform is a major point as the Rs just released a plan. I have not seen it but if they were smart they could really convince a lot of Latinos and non indeondent whites into voting R in 2018. But they are dumb, will pander to "hard liners" and obliterated their opportunity int he worst way possible.

Congrats. Striving to pay off a vehicle was one of the most rewarding things for me. I haven't had a car payment in years and have been thinking about buying another vehicle just for the challenge of paying it off. Dorky.

Also, that's not a small pile of extra playing chips after the last payment is made. Have fun deciding how to spend it.
