and it begins

So I have decided to jump into the Blogging world.....not so sure how long it will last but I know you all are dying to hear what I have to say. So it's Nov 12 2008, been a pretty standard day, currently enjoy'n a few Miller Lites. Been reading about all these Jake Peavy to the Cubs rumors and as much as I would like it to happen I think it's all bullshit. The Ravens have a HUGE game Sunday against the Giants....my heart is with the Ravens, my money is on the Giants sorry all. Either way it will be a battle!! Had to laugh a little inside today while at work. The boss kept try'n to ask me something and he couldn't remember what it was.....he was rather nervous it seemed, wonder what it was all about....well I actually know, it's review time and I haven't had mine yet. They know if I am not happy with my raise I will be rolling so I think I see the writing on the wall.....never mind the 12 years....never mind sticking around for 8 years with only 2 raises....nevermind getting kicked out of the "boys club" becasue of some asshole only to be taken back in once that asshole left. It will be hard to give up the 5 weeks of vacation, the coming and going as I please, not to mention all the friends. But it's ridiculous that Ciena thinks paying it's employees in the lower 25th percentile is actual fair market value.

Time to start looking for a new job. It's easier to hire someone at a hire rate than to give them an increase. My theory is to hire them at a high rate and hope they work out well because I know that the man won't let me give them much of an increase.

Ok, so this is fun. Not only do we get to hear what you have to say we get to add our 2cents! 8 years with 2 raises is rediculous. What are you waiting for!
