we should all be paid for the number of hours it feels like we worked

In that case, I'd never have another financial worry, ever. Kevin lost his job on Tuesday. In order to compensate, I am working more than is normal for me at this time of year. Keep in mind that Easter is just around the corner, which is busier in the church than Christmas. I have extra services coming out of my ass. I also agreed to play more weddings and funerals, which is the bulk of my weekend plans come Saturday morning. This blows.
