Hooray for raises! I got mine last week, but I can never figure out how much real income it's going to be until I see my paycheck.
And happy birthdays to 'Ouise and Zenkitty!
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm hoping that the new president is going to suck up to us by giving us a raise :)

I can't either, but for some reason our paycheck goes up online about a week before it is in our account. But I get paid on the 15th and 30th/31st, which I find crazy making anyway.

Woohoo, sarameg! Congrats - makes the added frustration of the new job a little more tolerable?
Our raises are in the works here, but we won't see them officially until just before the fiscal year flip, end of Sep.

Sure!
...until the next time something really annoys the hell out of me.
I can't figure out what calendar the raises here are tied to. It's a bit random.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Happy Birthday, Zenkitty and Ouise!
Congrats, sarameg.
I'm ready to drive back home and go back to bed now.

I don't wanna work anymore today. Sigh.
I think my eyes resents too.

Our wings are not tired.
me too. I did. not. want to get out of bed this morning. Even after snoozing/lolling in bed until 9:45 (I usually get in to work at 9:30), I got up, went to the bathroom, came back into the bedroom and stared at the bed for a few minutes, deeply contemplating returning to its soft, welcoming depths.
My sister!

Happy birthday to a couple of pretties, Ouise and Zenkitty.
Congratulations on the raise, sarameg. Great good news.
I got a random bonus check from my temp agency last week, which was very timely.

I got to work and discovered I have a late conference call today, so I could have come in later in the morning. Der, bad planning on my part. So today will be a looooooooooong day.
sigh.
