Very confused.

According to my work policy having my last surgery 60 days after I came back from the one before should have put me at full pay again. I wonder now if I misread.  I looked at my pay stub for today and I was deducted 40% of my pay.

I'm not sure what is going on, and it will of course have to wait until I get back to work, but I'm a bit upset. On one hand I am OK with this as it should mean I get to keep my vacation that I would have had to use. On the other hand I needed a full paycheck.  From what I can tell they only took 30 hours worth, but then that would mean that my next check will be just as small if not smaller. I'm not sure Dan and I can afford that.

I have a bit stashed away, but I don't know that it will last long. Sigh, I'm sure that we will get through it. I have been doing some research and have concluded that after September we will go with Dish. I wish that we could be strong enough to cancel our TV portion of cable all together, but I am not big into series watching. I have channels I watch and they do have series, but It's not like mainstream TV. When I did the math, I figure for the first year (2 year contract) we'll save roughly $50.00.  After that it will be like $25.00 a month savings. If it wasn't for the particular channels Dan and I like it would be even less.  But we like Military channel, History International,  The Science channel and DIY Network. Of course all of these are in the highest package. *sigh*

But that still doesn't mean that we'll still be OK with a small paycheck from me.  I have my doctor's appointment too. Funny how the Doctor's office never got back with me on the ABI.....  Whatever!
