well, today is a decidedly better day :)
even though its 6:50 am and i still gota shower and go to work...
my recent raise to $21/hr left me feeling worse than any previous raise. probably because i went in with higher expectations. and i lost my nerve when the bosses spun the review a different way than i thought it would go. this conversion tool says i make $43K/yr, while my buddy used to make almost $75K like 10 years ago in a different city. he was self employed and subcontracting at that point. i believe thats what the "head tech" is making at my company right now. and he's been with the company formaybe 3 out of the 4.5 years that i've been here. the boss just seems to have favouritized him from the get-go. is that supposed to be hyphenated? mind u he's probably sold himself very well at the interview, as he has throughout his employment here. he's learned a lot straight from the boss here, and so now he actually probably does know the most out of all of us techs.
the conversion tool says that to make about a 100K the hourly wage must be about $48. like in 2 hours such a person would make what i used to make in a day. thats incredimable.
anywho, its after 7am and i still gotta shower and try to get to work by 7:30... good luck :D
