L'Oreal Paris Elnett is amazing. Get it at the drugstore. I like my hair to feel soft. Is it still going to feel soft or will it be crunchy? In my head I'm thinking hairspray = Aussie scrunch spray. No. That's why I like it, it's a finishing spray. It's the one lots of celeb hairstylists use. If you brush your hair, it goes away.

I'll try. I don't think I've had hair spray in my house since the mid 90s. We need to get you down south! This is one place where hairspray will never die. To paraphrase Dolly Parton: The higher the hair, the closer to God

Unicorn, I'd be annoyed - but I wouldn't show it because it will probably annoy her if you don't react.
Tgrimes, you can be grateful for a raise and also annoyed that it wasnt sufficient. Any chance you can pull together reasons why you deserve more?

I just got back from my haircut and color, and a visit with a friend who had a baby a few weeks ago. She's a STM so she threw the baby at me and took a shower. Yes, please, I'll take all the sleeping baby snuggles!

Any chance you can pull together reasons why you deserve more? I could, but it wouldn't help me out at all. My boss would just think I was being ungrateful and hold it against me forever. Let's just say my firm doesn't value their employees that much. My boss would be fine if I left and he could bring in someone new at the starting salary.

This is going to sound really shitty of me and like I'm ungrateful. I got a raise today. While I appreciate it, the amount is...not that much. Like, it's eye roll worthy. Not related but this made me remember your post the other day - what did you mean when you said you had maternity pay in your paycheck? My firm only allows 6 weeks maternity leave and you only get paid half of it. So I was paid for 60 hours while I was on maternity leave. (I used sick & vacation time to fill up the rest of the time so I'd still get paid in full while I was off for 12 weeks.) After I've been back for 90 days, they pay me the other 60 hours. So this last paycheck I saw the extra 60 hours pay. Did that make sense?

tgrimes so they hold the other half of your leave pay hostage to make sure you're sticking around?

Tgrimes, feeling like you can't raise a legitimate reason for more $ is the worst. I'm sorry.

Tgrimes, feeling like you can't raise a legitimate reason for more $ is the worst. I'm sorry. I pretty much only stay here because the flexibility is great. I get 4 weeks vacation. I work in a satellite office so there's only 8 of us out here and I like them. I go against traffic and I'm really good at my job. I often regret not taking that dance job, but then I remember I'd never see my family so, what else am I going to do, you know?

And just to be more of a DD today, I went to a minuteclinic at lunch and I have strep and an EI.
I immediately went to costco & bought more red wine to self medicate tonight.

I'm so bored today that I started watching random YouTube videos, eventually finding ones on making your own dishwasher detergent. I then also checked the price of citric acid on Amazon. It's $7.99 for a lb.

Just came home from a bunch of errands. H helped me shop at a little boutique and I found the prettiest dress. I never feel this way about clothes so I'm super excited to wear it out for dinner on or anniversary in Napa next week!
And of course I have a package at the door with more clothes I ordered online. I need to stop shopping. But I better go try them on first!

Hopefully the wine will ward off any stomach viruses? Sorry about the EI and strep. You so deserve some good karma for all the illness that has descended on your house this year.

Were you expecting a raise? Do you get them annually? We used to get them every year until the economy went in the shitter in 2008. Then it was sporadic. We heard they were approving raises this year but I just expected a little more, I guess. I mean, they pay for a Christmas party for our clients every year that's at least 200k. Maybe we should not do the party and disperse that money out to the employees. I'm rambling. Sorry. I should just be thankful & STFU. I felt the same about my raise this year. It was like, shit, why bother?
