good tidings on a monday..

As impossible as it sounds - i mean, how can mondays ever go well for me - i got this mail from my pm telling me my salary has been hiked! Of course, i was expecting it one of these days but hell, not on a monday. Ummm, until i get the hard copy i cannot make out anything - i don't even know exactly how much i earn now! But it does seem like a substantial increase. Good. A few more years and i should be done with this 9-6 existence.

Am i happy about it? i don't know - maybe my bank balance will grow fatter faster but what is there to it? i have a strange relation with money. i am never too worried about it, i hardly keep track of where it goes. i don't have a head for managing money, it seems. The only time i care about it is at the end of the financial year, when i need to submit my investments for tax rebate. That, apparently, is the only time i even bother about my financial well-being. i should become more money wise and start making some smart investments. But ultimately, does it matter at the end of it all? After all, it is only money.
