Waitresses and the like actually have a lower minimum wage than the rest, as it's assumed that they'll make it up with the tips
Last year I believe minimum wage was $9.25/hour and waitressing wages were $6.10/hour

Minimum wage has gone up, it's $9.70 this year (eventually it'll be $15/hour, I think by 2020), but idk how far up waitressing wages have gone or how far behind they'll be. But either way, they'll be far lower than minimum wage because tips

I think minimum wage here is $10.50? And I don't think you aren't allowed to pay less then that?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Not bad
But remember that most states are still at national minimum wage: $7.25/hour
I think waitressing wages are as low as $2.10/hour
Which means they're forced to get at least one other job just to survive

And people complain about burger flippers getting $15/hour because that's where higher skill jobs are at
Great. Keep nitpicking at the crumbs. Do it so the ones making off with the cake itself keep getting away with it

Ayeyayie ouchie mama - I would not be able to survive on that amount of money!

Get a government job because I think the pay is the same across the state borders.

There's no jobs really available around here
Especially without a license
And since I live out in the countryside, a license isn't optional for a job

how's the tater coming along?

[Lianna]

Slow

I think we made potato stampers in school before - you cut the design you wanted and then dabbed them on the ink pad and stamped the paper/item. Haven't thought of that for awhile.

Also, mom finally got my multitool again so I can get going on the tater

I thought for a second the bunny was a tater you carved - oh, imagination can do that sometimes

Rufus sees the vet, well, later today
He's acting better, but he also hasn't been allowed outside, which prolly helps
Like he's jumping again. Either that, or he's figured out how to claw his way up onto dad's bed
Before it hurt to do such
I still can't carry him properly or how I usually carry him still, he still yells at that
