Aww. RIP monkey toes!
So very tired. How is everyone else today?
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I am actually awake and possibly even perky, but my eyes hurt from wearing my contacts too long yesterday and that gives me the illusion of being tired.

Ann, that's a ferret.
A little better, actually. Long afternoon naps on Friday and Saturday helped.

Sore as all fuck. I ran twelve miles yesterday.

whoo, PC!
I'm tired (couldn't get to sleep last night and kept waking up), still sorta sick (despite my trying to get rest last week) but slightly perked up due to finding out I got a 3.5% raise. Which may not sound like a lot, but for academic support staff, um, it is. Usually the ceiling for that is 4% for super total rock star amazing god-level work and a championing and respected manager. 3.5 is high on the just normal being awesome scale.

Awesome, Nora! That's really great. I got a measly 1% raise since I'd only officially been an employee for one quarter. Which is understandable but annoying anyway, since my evaluation was so glowing.

So, if anyone recalls my wailing and whining about my starting salary in June, this puts me up where I wanted to be. So yay!

Yay, Nora!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool, Nora!
The last three or four years I've gotten 2%-3% raises. Before that I had a 5% raise, and the year before that I think it was 9%, and before that I had a couple of years of 10% raises. Then there was the year I got the 37% raise (but that was when I was rather underpaid compared to the market).
I think lots in the IT industry have had small raises in recent years.

I get a 3% raise every year. It's nice to know that my salary will go up, but I wish they had merit based raises because I would rake up. My starting salary was higher than they usually pay for my job too.
