I am having a grumpy morning. And I'm grumpy about being grumpy. I mean, life is pretty good right now. My house is neat, housecleaners are coming today to get it sparkling. Jack is improving on dealing with strangers. Both my kids are in good relationships, have good jobs, and are healthy. I'm healthier than I have been in a while. School is good. Work is good.
Ok, I do have a work rant. Remember that raise and promotion I asked for MONTHS ago? Still hasn't worked its way through. HR did say that they can't justify the promotion (grade change) for now as I'm too far below the starting pay for the new grade. DUH, that is why I want the raise. So they are planning on a raise now (not sure when now really is), a larger than normal year end raise (in April) and grade change. Which, ok, fine. Just DO IT. My boss is trying the best he can but he keeps getting bounced around and dealing with different people and providing different justifications. And...I told him I'm tired of asking and he said to keep checking it. But dang...why is this so hard?!?!? If my whole management chain is supportive, come on...
Grumpy pants here.
