TIAH because I got a HUGE surprise pay rise

I can‘t go into too many detail because my situation is quite specific and I want to stay anonymous.

but basically I‘m a trainee, and my original contract forbade me from working weekends. the company I work at operates during regular office hours, except for my department which is a bit of a special case. the laws protecting trainees from being exploited are quite strict in my country, there are industries where they can work on weekends but it really depends on the contract.

anyway, due to the nature of my job I missed out on lots of learning opportunities, and neither my coworkers nor I were happy about me being restricted to weekdays. my boss, the manager who‘s responsible for our department and HR figured out a legally sound way that‘s in accordance with my contract so I can work on weekends and it included a HUGE raise! after taxes and insurance, I‘m earning DOUBLE from what it was before!

usually, as you go through the stages of training you get smaller raises with each state, I won‘t get those anymore but it‘s still more than during the last stage.

I EARN A LIVING WAGE NOW! I‘m not reliant on government aid! I‘m not reliant on my partner‘s income! I‘m going to be able to afford a decent standard of living! no more worries about having enough money left for food once my bills are paid! we can even move to a bigger apartment and adopt a dog once our lease runs out, and I won‘t need to worry even the slightest about having to choose between food for myself and paying the vet in case there‘s an emergency! and I can get money back into my savings account, that has been dwindeling ever since I started my job.

it‘s still a while until pay day, but I‘m for sure celebrating by ordering my favorite takeout (to which I haven‘t treated myself in a while) and getting seriously baked today!
