Just realized that as of today, I've been at this job 9 years. I walked in here at age 21 back in 1994 on this very day. Yikes.
Am currently trying to work up the nerve to ask my boss for a raise, since I have not had one in quite a while. The funny thing is, I'm not worried about him telling me no, I just hate to ask. I think I still have some issues about my worth. Intellectually, I know I run the office, and that he'd be screwed without me, but that doesn't have anything to do with it. I hate saying "Yes, I feel that the job I do is worth more than I am making."
Ah well. I'll ask him eventually. I just figured today would be a good day, with full moon and all. *shrug* I love my job, and my boss, it's not like I want to leave. Where else could I have the freedom I do here?
I mean, I spend the first hour I'm here answering phones and chatting with friends online! Oh, and writing porn. Can't forget that.
Granted, in return, I do the job of four people, work long hours, and bust my ass to make sure things are done right the first time.
Maybe I'll try that prosperity spell at full moon tonight.
