you are so lucky to have an actual writing job. can you do some this weekend and get ahead of the game? screw the raise, it's not like you're some people and have it calc'ed out for your last retirement penny. I hate those people, and yes I totally messed one over and he hates me forever now, but a) he should have known better and 2. he was some society muckety-muck, so like i'm going to cry for him? I don't think so. what was the 3rd - oh ywah, the coworkers. they told mine to not even talk to me. that sucked. but I did get pretty nuts (different place from the society guy tho).
