Tell him to match your other offer of $11/hr.

If he doesnt go for it, tell him to "hum on this."

He'll reconsider.

my 21st was spent in a non drinking zone.

doubt it will be anything significant, since it took them this long just to process it..

once i get kicked out (long story, i hate officers) i can finally go active. i do plan on doing atleast 25 years.

[Oakes]

Jacki, I'll be honest...consider the way things have been the last 4 years...you were lucky to have a job for the most part.

I'm glad you're getting a raise, and you definitely deserve it, however I doubt many other people got much of a raise. You're in a very replaceable position, regardless of how well you do the job and how reliable you are. Just the truth of the matter, clearly you did something to set yourself apart for them to consider giving you a raise, so be happy about that.

Not trying to rain on your parade, just stating the reality of the situation. You know you're doing something right when you have the companies you worked for calling you back (more than a year) after you left to reconsider coming back. It's happened to me with every position I've left (for the same reasons you want to leave your job), and I've quit every job but one - which got bought out by a different company and everyone was let go....and I mean everyone, it was a mess and my favorite job.

So yeah, sorry for the long winded reply, but congrats! Hope it's the numbers you want/deserve.

That's almost kind of like here. My supervisor asked yesterday if there's a different department I'd like to go to, I told him where, but if marketing from American Muscle likes my stuff, I'm taking that job.

[omgjacki]

He asked me if I was available Monday nights and Saturdays. I told him yes, since I am but I'll only do it with a raise. He looked at me like I had 10 heads and said, "You've never gotten a raise?!" He knows this. He's the one that has to put them in.

Inbreeding.

[grimm]

haha... it's just funny how some people draw conclusions about a problem before they even look at all the possibilities.

[omgjacki]

Haven't had a phone since January 5th because my broke ass couldn't afford to pay it but it's back on!

[rista]

my car hates me. im not sure what to check next..
a little less than a year...or maybe close to a year, i hit a HUGE and i mean HUGE pothole on route 1 going into jersey, bent my wheel, flattened my tire...blah, so i got a new tire...fixed the wheel..and went on my way...i cant remember if after all of that, if i had a shake or not.
for my birthday last february, Rich got me new wheels...i put them on like 5 months later once i had money, and the shop i got them on at, i thought did a bad job at balancing them...but it was too late to take them back to have em re-balanced, so i just carried on driving with a small shake, mainly from the side i hit the pot hole on.
its been like 6 months i guess, and the shake, i feel has progressivly gotten worse...so i was started to get fed up with it, so i today at 11:30 i went to sears, they have lifetime guarantee when u get your wheels balanced, so i was like ok, so they'll help me out. take it there, get them balanced..pay, and i go on my way...
i get onto 95 to head home but also check out how it handles and whatnot...and at 45mph...and 70mph and over i still have a shake, it felt worse than before, so i turn around, park, go in and tell the guy that just did it that its still happening, if not a little worse...so he takes it back in...rebalances them, new & different weights put on..everything..they come out fine...he tells me to go test the car and see how it does, and offers to come with me...im not that trusting so i have him stay there since its just me...i take it on 95 ...still a shake...go back tell him...and all he can say is that the balance is perfect..it might be my suspension?
i really dont have money to fix things....
