When the company EVP asks for a sit down with you ... you know you're in the shit. Fuck Fuck Fuck Oh goodie, and he wants to "sit down" with me tomorrow morning. Oh guys, wish this little black swannie some luck, eh? Perhaps I've been caught just one too many times on this site ... You know you're addicted when ... SJ

Good luck, SJ! And look on the bright side: maybe it's a promotion!

Oh, yeah .... I wish! No, I have already been told, point blank by the owner that I will never leave this position ... But I like your optimism...

Good Luck SJ!!! I"m sure it's nothing but positive. And if it happens to because you've been caught here too many times, perhaps the EVP wants to tell you that he is a fan of BoTP too!!

Heh heh ... nah he's too old ...

Hugs, baby... I hope the meeting is positive... I'll be thinking about you tomorrow...

Hope it goes better then you think.... And if it starts to go bad, picture them on the

I was just gonna say a similar thing..If it helps I can loan ya my uberdestructo 3000! Intimidate him, show no fear, chin up girl..and walk in there with 'tude!! And if that fails, you can always grovel and apologise profusely, somehow tho, I just cant see that ever really happening.. rock on girl..get in there with the 'tude!! AND gOOD LUCK!!

Okay ... one-hour later ... So. It was good. They have decided to keep me right where I am (as the pone jockey) because I have intelligence ... So to appease me they offered me a $5,000 pay raise. Not bad - not as much as I would like - but you can't knock it ... So in all ... it's okay. And now, to finish budgets and get some more badness against Condors finished ... Heh heh

See???? Nothing bad! Now, if you want to get the raise to be more, pull out those Swannie hacking skills!

WELL DONE!!! Nothing to worry about! Knew it!!!..and came out of it..5K richer?! PAR-TAY!!!!! EVERYONE...drinks are on SJ!!!!! WHOOOHOOO!!! ooooh BEHAVE !! (grins Austin Powers like)

That's great news SJ at least it wasn't something that you feared it might be

:Giggles: I need to buy a lotto ticket today ... I just received an email from a potential employer who wants me to interview for a yummy position that I have been eyeballing for a couple of weeks. I would take this job in a heartbeat over what I was just offered ... Oh I hope that my salary expectations weren't too high ... I gave them an 8K range ... But Yay. And now our Operations Director just came over an patted me on the back for bringing to light a serious issue that has been slowly getting worse and worse in here. EVP is immediately working to solve the problem. Only draw-back is that because I was in with him, everyone knows it came from me ... but fuck em. Don't fuck with this swan and think you'll get away with it! I don't like to play tattle - but ... Don't fuck with Swannie ... Or I will fuck with you! In all ... Good day. Good day.

It sounds like your day went a lot better than you thought it would. Whether you end up with the 5k pay raise or the better job, well done This smilie has nothing to do with anything, but I just spotted it and it's rather cute

Congrats on both the raise and the interview!

Yeah, congrats, Swannie! It's about time you were recognized...the new job opportunity sounds good, too!

Damm, a pay rise. I only get pittance pay rises because of the usual finance year they give us pay rises (no more than 20 pence usually) and every autumn, when the minimal wages go up, so then does mine. In fact I get only 5 pence more than people on minimal wages. Also, my supervisor is trying to get me extra hours, (which means a bit more money) so I can do my job a bit more effective.
