Later that month she is promoted from her 90,000 / year job to a higher management position paying $125,000 / year.
So staying home to stain that deck actually cost the lady $23,100 (assuming the 33% tax bracket).

Yeah...and have you ever heard of the chaos theory/buttefly effect? That one that says a flap of a butterflys wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the planet? This is what you're going for. A real stretch of the imagination.
People feel its necessary to analyze every little thing because they have nothing better going on in their lives. Its a shame.
