well fantastic. it's nice knowing after working for a company for 3 years and not getting or asking for a raise that when you finally do your boss values you enough to offer you a 2k raise when your making about 12k less than the average industry rate - not to mention doing 3 jobs in one. say hello to the designer, developer and project manager! and SEO and Social Media as well. SO technically could be considered 4 jobs in one.
i always go by the moto that if you're happy then money doesn't matter but money plays such a huge role in everything regardless of what people say. money runs everything. you get what you want only when you have the money to do it. dream all you want, without the green you're going nowhere. so because i can't afford to live how i want, because i run out of money every month and eat crackers for a week, because i can't even afford to pay for the dental care i need - happiness is slowly disappearing from my life. so a change in attitude is on the horizon... i deserve to be paid more so if my employer cannot understand that and wants to remain ignorant then i belong elsewhere.
i had to form a document outlining everything i do to obtain my "lowest offer" for a raise which i will discuss with my boss this week but if he doesn't accept it i will also need to find a new job. the whole idea of job hunting again makes me sick to my stomach. ugh. it just sucks because i love my job here and the company.. i'm really happy - but since it is a small company there is little room for advancement or advancement in salaries apparently. i don't think i'm asking a ton, it's still less than average for ONE of the jobs i'm doing. so wish me luck.
other than that lovely issue, life is mayhem at the moment. trying to rent my apartment - trying to find another that is above ground and hopefully cheaper or same price. i mega cleaned today because i have two people looking at the place tomorrow night. looking at one tomorrow myself. apartment hunting is yet another disappointment - places here are so expensive for shit and pictures online never look the same as the actual places. i lucked out getting something brand spankin new here but i can't stand being underground anymore - i need windows and sunshine especially in the winter when i become a hermit. my cats also enjoy looking out windows and there is only one TINY window here that outlooks to basically the brick wall of the house beside. cost of living has just become too much.
decided not to go to school in january - didn't get into the college i wanted - probably applied too late so i will wait until May and decide if i want to go then.
there are some other things on my mind but i think i've rambled enough for now...
