JULY 13, 2008

I was so excited about getting a steady salary that I wrote the amount in my calendar on each payday. Coincidentally, the next day I noticed on my blog roll that Penelope Trunk had just posted about that very topic and she was taking the view that salaries should be transparent. I remember when I started my first job in the mid 70s.
