Re: How was your Cyber Monday?

[(Anonymous)]

I have discovered a misunderstanding which leaves me at a substantial disadvantage.
I have been helping my brother's mother-in-law with various household chores, doing her shopping, and bringing around meals every few days. I was initially doing this for free, but in the face of this arrangement lasting for several months, I was promised payment. (No sort of contract was made, I don't think any of it was even written down anywhere)
I thought I was being promised $x per week. I was actually being promised $x per month. Which is a bit of a pain in the arse - I was really hoping I could pay my rent early, and pay for a tank or two instead of sponging off my mum.
I feel mad, and I feel guilty about feeling mad that I'm not being paid enough to help a sick old lady with her laundry, and I feel cross at myself for not getting any of this in writing, and basically it's not been a great day.

But after all that I got to hang out with a friend for a few hours and we watched TV and ate chips, so that was nice.

You have nothing to feel guilty about. Just because it's a "nice thing" to do doesn't mean you don't deserve to get paid, or that you don't deserve to get paid a reasonable amount.

I had a problem with a temporary job where I was supposed to go help this woman every morning, and it turned out she wanted me to come twice a day. And technically I didn't have to come twice a day so she didn't pay me any extra. As it happens I was earning decent money and it was only a couple of weeks, but it still kind of pissed me off.
