I did it
I did it. I asked for a raise. I asked for a promotion and I asserted the fact that the new girl isn't going to take over when has been offered to me. I made myself known. I made my intentions known. Oh goo dgolly I did it. I am so not good at this. I honestly have never asked for a raise before. Well, that's not entierly true. I did raise my day care rates that once but that just doesn't feel the same. They had no choice but to pay it. Here I have to ask and hope.
I doubt I will get the promotion. The new girl is honestly more qualified than I am. My opportunity will come I just don't think this is it. The raise I will find out when I hit my 6 month mark from my hire in date. June 30, 2006. I have to "stay prayed up". Shawn at work says that all the time and cracks me up.
I am an avid reader and admitted geek. I will read anything I can get my hands on, I adore Shakespeare and anything historical.
I can take apart and rebuild my computer with ease and was hanging out online when all you could do was go to BBS's.
I love museums...any kind. I can get lost in a bookstore for hours. I annoy my oldest son with the amount of Dave Matthews
I play and I know every word to just about every Beatles song ever written. I am a diet coke junkie.
I tend to kill my houseplants...I simply forget they are there...although I do have one that has survived for four years
now...new record! I attend church every week (almost).
Update, October 2006: That plant died. This year I became the mother of a high schooler, middle schooler and a kindergartener. When did I become old enough for all that?
Update, November 2007: I am moving to the UK! Well, hopefully anyhow...have to sort out things with the little guys father and a million other details but as soon as I can manage it I am moving to be with the love of my life in a country I adore!
Update, August 2008: I live in ENGLAND!!!! The little guy and I moved over in April and absolutely love it. Just found a permanent job too. Sooooo Happy!
October 2009 Yeah so lost the perm job :( but still very, very happy :D
