Pay Day

So today is pay day!  My first "real" pay check at this job. But it was a bit disappointing. I think I underestimated the amount of taxes that are taken off. Which is okay, but it's just nice to know up from instead of being surprised about it. It's my first long term, full time job, so maybe there are more things taken off. I'm not sure how CPP and all that stuff works. And every employer is different in terms of how many taxes they take off. Tim Horton's barely took off any, so I got paid more up front.  I get paid $11.50 an hour, and Jaspaul and I were calculating it at 11.25. But according to my pay check, I should be calculating it at less than $11 per hour. That seems like a lot to take off.. so I'm a bit concerned. Also I should've had a couple hours of overtime, so it's just not adding up to me. We don't get pay stubs, but we're supposed to be able to check it online. I haven't gotten the slip that tells us how though, so I'll be asking today.

I'm trying not to let it affect my mood. I had such a good day yesterday because I told myself it was good to be a good day, and I "forced" myself to be in a good mood. I don't want this to affect that!! So I'm going to try my best not to worry about it, because there's nothing I can do about it until I can look at the online thing. Also, I still got paid and I'm able to pay all my bills and everything.. so I'm just trying to count my blessings right now instead of complain. I'll figure it out soon and it'll be fine. I just can't put it aside in my mind, which is something I hate about myself!!
