The raise is good, though!
In weird raise stories, I just got a letter that I got a 3.1% merit raise this year. Last year I was told that the uni did not give merit raises-- everyone always got 2 %. This is crazy, because when I worked for other sections of the university, I one got a 10% merit raise. I asked again about merit raises and was still told that there was no such thing. I guess the first rule of a merit raise is that there is no such thing as a merit raise.
(mind you, the difference is only 14 cents per hour-- and extra $291 per year.)
Anyone watching the Pop Culture World Series on VH1? Cause it's kinda kick ass.
I am, in theory, though mostly that means that Tivo is catching them for me and I saw some of the first one.
It looks fun though.
Well, it was a Friday in 1967.
I was born on a Monday. That actually explains A LOT.
I think I was born on a Sunday. Tomorrow, coincidentally, is my birthday. I plan to buy myself cake.
I got a raise. I can never leave this job, no one else would pay me this to do what I do.
oh, sarameg. My sister in well-compensated pain. Eeyore is, like, my totem animal.
Cashmere was born on my father's birthday, which I consider auspicious. Also Margaret Thatcher's birthday, which is ominous. Marie Osmond and a litter of our puppies, which is neutral to cute.

Sure, but it makes next years merit raise come off a higher base. You know, assuming there
is
a merit raise...

And don't forget Chris Carter. And, of course, me and Matt the Bruins Fan.
Yeah, Friday the 13th not such a thing to be avoided as far as I'm concerned, since I get treated to dinner, pumpkin pie, and presents on some of them.
I was born on a Sunday. The same day and year Marilyn Monroe's body was found. So if she was murdered, I have a perfect alibi.
My brother was born on a Friday the 13th. On the plus side, meant I got cake occasionally (but no presents). On the minus side, I got a brother that I never got along with.
