The Lovely S.<\/p>\n
Down.<\/p>\n
And I can’t be there – in Worcestershire – to give her the support and comfort that she needs.<\/p>\n
This sucks.<\/p>\n
It’s official.<\/p>\n
You can quote me.<\/p>\n
My poor girl, she sounded so… cast away, isolated.<\/p>\n
And there’s other stuff…<\/p>\n
I discovered this evening (I’ve been doing my books – break out the rum rations!) that the agency I’m working for down here has been paying me Net of VAT.<\/p>\n
So I’m going to have to ring them tomorrow and sort it out.<\/p>\n
I hate talking about money, but…<\/p>\n
If these people don’t cough up my VAT I’m probably going to have to hand in my notice; there’s no way I can sustain paying 17.5% tax on a Net earning on what is the lowest rate I’ve ever accepted.<\/p>\n
So all in all I’m feeling a little subdued too.<\/p>\n
Wish I could just get in the car and go home.<\/p>\n
We’ll see how I feel tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
