Actually payed is just old... Not necessarily incorrect. But I think I usually use paid.

It's incorrect in the context you were using it for though

Watching a TV report about Naples and the horrible mafia situation and all that. Really horrible stuff. That an entire city can go so wrong.

some of you might know I'm working in horse business.
One aspect of that is riding a horse-drawn carriage for weddings. Being in that business for about 16 years by now, I have seen many kinds of weddings.
But yesterday was one of those that stand out. I didn't really know who those people were we drove to church, all I care for is that I do my job right and in the best way possible, add my part to a day meant to be perfect. When I saw the huge number of guests at church, the way they were dressed, the way they behaved and talked (towards us and among each other) - I smelled money. Lots and lots of money. After all, they had booked us with a four-in-hand (4 horses instead of the usual 2), which is no cheap thing after all. But what did I care, a good job it was, and well paid (<-- !! ) for.
Anyway, today I read my newspaper over breakfast as usual, sports first. And I stumbled over the name of the newly wed couple we worked for yesterday. So I googled.
The groom is a pro football player, captain of a team playing in 2nd Bundesliga. No wonder I had the impression money was involved - rich football pros out there yesterday, I knew I was right celebrity alert

yeah,maybe, though it's ony 2nd league, but you never know
Two or three weeks ago I did a wedding for someone also involved in football business, in the end now I know where trainer Klopp of Borussia Dortmund lives and how to get into contact with him.I wouldn't know why I'd want that, lol, but you never know when you might need something like that for your own (or a friend's) use , and after all it's cool to know
