Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I had a tick ON MY FACE. Now I'm all twitchy.
Intern had a car accident over the weekend and went to the doctor today to get cleared and is making arrangements for a car rental. Ugh. I can't lose her. Hopefully she can train it and I can pick her up at the station (less than a mile away).
Timelies all!
Had a doctor's appointment this morning at 8. Got there early, and the door was locked. Once there was someone in the office I was told the doctor was sick. Apparently she left a message on my work voice mail, which I didn't get because I hadn't been in to work yet. (That was the contact number they had. Now they have my cell phone #.) Got rescheduled for next Friday. So Monday.
I feel so sorry for all of you with the stomach ick.
I'm gearing up for Noah's baseball game. Blargh. I need a ton of water because it's 90 here.
Has anybody mentioned how totally adorable that British prince-baby George is? He's both a mini-Wills and ADORBS. [link] (The SHOES! I may have a small addiction to baby shoes.)
So thoughts - when asking for a promotion, do you start by saying "I deserve this promotion and here's why" or do you start with the reasons you're awesome and the end with "And in conclusion, promote me."
This is being done via email because my big boss is cross-country and hard to reach on the phone.
I would have assumed one starts with "I deserve this promotion and here's why" and ends with "in conclusion, promote me" but don't ask me, I'm in academia and we do everything wonky.
I have neighbor delivered gatorade. Sure sign I feel like shit? It tastes like the best thing ever. It's hard to refrain from chugging it.
It's stayed down 30 minutes.
Ack, tonight is trash night. Just going up stairs wears me out. I'm achy from the fever, I'm achy from the dehydration (my joints are bellweathers) I'm achy from being prone all day.
Wahwahwahwah.
Turns out my neighbor got hit with the same saturday. Her's was a 12 hour bug, so I'm hopefully on the mend. OTOH, her system is used to assault from all sorts of nasties in 3rd world countries, so....

Haha, that's what I did because I figure it should be structured like an essay! But my mentor who's looking over the email for me says you can't just come out and ask for a promotion. I think she's probably wrong, but I really don't know.
Are you asking for a promotion to an open position or for a new position to be created or to be paid more for what you already do?
Sure sign I feel like shit? It tastes like the best thing ever.
I've always heard that if Gatorade tastes good, you're dehydrated. But Gatorade always tastes good to me. Especially the blue flavor.
But my mentor who's looking over the email for me says you can't just come out and ask for a promotion.
How are you supposed to word it? I have no idea about these things.
