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!

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.

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.

Me too - they call it a "cost of living increase." In theory we also have a merit-based bonus system, only none of the middle management can figure out how to do the paperwork for it.

Feelin' pretty good today, I must say.
Yay Nora's raise...may you grow and flourish well past her expectations next time around.
Sore as all fuck. I ran twelve miles yesterday.Go P-C. Get on whichyerbadself. I'm in awe...
And still? Never gonna run. Spike's chip kept him from harming mortals, mine keeps me from running more than a block at a time. BUT, I am walking my butt off. Literally.
I've walked 4+ miles everyday for the last week. Granted, to do the Marathon, Ima havta start upping that soon, but at least I'm consistent. My bff is being a huge help with her zeal to hit the bricks each morning.
The shoe and pedometer research has been less than uplifting but I'm hoping I have that resolved. Now, it's all about the miles and the time.
I have no aspiration to be a rockstar in the marathon walking world, but I DO want to make it to the finish line without being swept from the field.
In '97, when I did the AIDSRide, on our 110 mile day, I made 89.5 before being forced off the road. That blew...I had the power but not the speed...which has always been the case. In high school I was a varsity long distance swimmer. Never won a race, but I completed them ALL, even the ones I should not have been entered in. The coach called me his 'point for the team gal'.
Wish me speed!

What'd you do to make someone chase you twelve miles?

I wanted to ask about the dress code.
