Given the discussion and HR pissing me off AND me knowing what is going on with me this year, my review/plan for next year will read something like:
With only 2 years of experience in this roll, I am a F'in EXPERT.
I am going to angle for a title addition for my postion (I need to be hyphenated so my boss keeps an assistant) and a bump in days off and base pay raise. Trifectca baby!
ION, I am going to tattoo "Set nocount on" on my forehead. And then put a mirror on my desk to I can read it while working. I'd have to have the text backwards so I could read it in a mirror, like "Ambulance" on the front of an ambulance.
I have 20 years of experience, and I don't think anyone even guesses other than my boss. Sometimes it doesn't matter, sometimes it makes me bristle. I'm not that much younger than the apparently grizzled vets, I'm learning. They just got rode harder and put up wetter than I did.
Sometimes I feel like I might as well say my first job was dinosaur wrangler.

Mine was. RPG III programming
was
dinosaur wrangling. But at least no one expects me to do that any more. But as for the bulk of what I do now? It's been about 20 years. People need to step off and stop being surprised.

I'm right there with you.
So JZ talked to one of the nurses in her office and she thinks I've got a UTI (my kidneys hurt and have been tender).
I'm off to the doctor in hopes of getting an antibiotic course.
Oh, msbelle. I am so sorry. That totally sucks.
I am currently eating my lunch of a very tasty chopped salad that I made a TON of last night. It's going to be my lunch all week, so I'm glad it's as good as it is!
God, Hec, those suck...
Feel better fast.
they would not allow the exception. bye bye $500/mo in tax free dollars.
That absolutely blows. We do ours and it's due November 20, but they don't tell you by phone or email or anything else. you get an enrollment packet in October and you're on your own.
The upside to such a system is that I have learned that both medical and childcare is still tax deductible, if you dont' FSA it. You just have to wait longer to get the money back. But it does come back in one nice big lump.
