Ok, it's another day...
Mar. 12th, 2008 08:48 amSo here's hoping that today goes a lot better than yesterday did. And to start it off right, how 'bout a random pic of Jensen and Jared?

Ahh, I feel better already. You? :-)
Many thanks to all of you who sent calming vibes and good luck vibes my way yesterday. They were greatly appreciated!
My review went pretty well. I mean, I got really good marks, but two important things that I wanted to see happen got shot down and it really bummed me out. And my raise was...okay. I keep getting the "you're pretty high up in the pay scale already" crap - their excuse for barely giving a cost of living raise. But boy, I bet the managers aren't told that!
The only thing in the "needs improvement" category part of the review was that I need to exercise more patience when dealing with problem customers and employees.
Well you know what? It's hard to exercise patience when people are STUPID. And I've got a serious Type A personality. You can see the two don't mix.
So I tell my boss, "You know that's my personality, right?" and he's like, "Uh, yeah. That's why I only mention this once a year."
LOL! My boss can be a smart man sometimes. :-)
I tried to shake off the crap of the day when I got home by playing with Photoshop and making all new picture strips for the side of my LJ layout. I even included Sam and Jared this time! *g* Go see!

Then to finish the night I watched A Very Supernatural Christmas. That ep never fails to tug at my heart.
Oh, and GIP! GIP! You know that's what's really going through Sammy's head. ;-)
Well, I guess it's time to face the day. Happy Hump Day, all!

Date: 2008-03-12 02:02 pm (UTC)I hate that lame "you're pretty high on the pay scale" crap. If I work hard and do my job good, I should be rewarded for it. I worked at one place (a nice big box retail store whose name I won't mention *coughBestBuycough*) I transfered to another department and they wouldn't even give me a raise on my anniversary even though my review score was super high. I was already over the top of the pay scale for the position I transfered to. Stupid corporations.
Oh a good note, love the new pics! What handsome men :-) You should throw in an occasional JDM pic just to stir things up a bit, LOL!
A Very SN Xmas is a great ep... except they make John look like an ass :-( I would love just one flashback where the boys remember something good that John did during their childhood. Just one... please, Mr. Kripke??

Thank you! I mean, what's the incentive to continually do better, you know?
Wow, Best Buy sucks!

I think that would be a fantastic idea. I mean, if he was that bad for their entire lives, I think both boys would be seriously warped.

Sounds like the review went well for the most part. Congrats! Sucks about the raise, though. Don't you just hate that 'you already get paid pretty well' crap?
Love the new pic strip. Some great choices there!
Now, back to the grind for me :(

Date: 2008-03-12 07:50 pm (UTC)Oh yay! I'm glad I (and Jensen and Jared *g*) could help. :-)
So..have you thrown any punches? *g*
Don't you just hate that 'you already get paid pretty well' crap?
Yes! Gosh, thanks for the incentive to continually do better, you know, when I won't get rewarded for it.
Love the new pic strip. Some great choices there!
Oh cool! Glad you like. :-)

"you're pretty high up in the pay scale already"
That really IS a crap excuse not to give you a good raise. Who cares if you are? If you're good at your work and are doing a good job then shouldn't you be high up in the pay scale? I can never understand how this stuff works, I get the same excuse at work (which is more, "We already pay you slightly more then most part time people.." which.. well I do a lot more?).
And I love the new layout pictures! The one of the two of them is an adorable picture, n'aw.

Thank you! That's exactly how I feel about it, too. It makes absolutely no sense and really doesn't give me an incentive to do better, you know?

Don't you just wanna squish the two of them? :-)

And thanks for the Happy!pic. I'm having the week from hell with the move and I appreciated some gratuitous squee =]
