May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

It is, but six months? Lordy.

Right? Happy Birthday to you! (ETA: that was in response to Amy, not the six months part!)

Our wings are not tired.

brenda, yeah, that's strange. I thought you meant retroactively.

If I don't get a promotion and significant raise in Feb (when promotions usually occur), I will be looking for a new company. I've been here 4.5 years, longest of anywhere I've worked. I also work harder than I've ever worked anywhere.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

java - they would be CRAXY not to give you a promotion/raise.

Our annual raises don't hit until April 1st, but we don't get our reviews back until around that time anyway.

K-Bug stopped by my pt's office and got my appt rescheduled for Monday. Grrrr. I need somthing before then. Will see what happens with the snow and then will call my massage gal.

Six months away is bizarro. However, yay raise? Um.

Yeah, that's what I'm used to. It's not the credit check itself, it's doing it prior to even an interview, much less a job offer, that seems fishy to me.

Yeah, that's totally craycray. After the offer, yes. Without even saying who they are? Fuckno.

Because books.

Massage! I'm sorry you're hurting, Suzi.

Heh. This was me, almost to the letter, back this spring.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Otherwise? I was going to run screaming from my office and make a flight reservation to San Diego or something.

Mid- to high- seventies this week. Just sayin'.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

JenP, that's like a recipe for identity theft.

No, I don't think they should be allowed to do a credit check before offering you a job. Unless it is the FBI.
