hiedi ho all. just kind of an apathetic feeling right now. it was pretty much a good day. i guess. i don't know. tomorrow is my birthday (no biggie), so as far as the work people were concerned, it was recognized today.
one of my friends knows my pension for baseball hats and got me a super nice guiness hat. brilliant!
and then another one of the guys that i work with game me his second ticket to a bobcats game in a couple of weeks. his girl didn't want to go, so he parlayed it into a b-day present for me. the cool thing is that he also bought tickets to see mark cuban (owner of the dallas maverick) speak before the game. cool shit.
then the guys took me out for lunch which was kool and the gang.
the afternoon just cruised until i, for some reason beyond my own understanding, decided to go talk to my boss. i am so fucking stupid to mess with a good day. here is the deal. last year i got hosed pretty bad on the yearly increase. really bad. didn't even cover the cost of living increase in CLT. and for someone my age to be with the same company is almost unheard of these days. especially in the construction industry where people job shop constantly. and since my hosing i have probably received a half dozen offers. some of them were stupid and others would have been quick paydays but i would have been miserable. recently i have been courted by one of my vendors. i don't think i would like the job as much as far as pace or excitement, but the money would be there and i could stay near CLT which i have come to love. not to mention a rumor of another position in knoxville TN with a buddy of mine from PA. which would be great except i don't want to move.
so i talked to my boss this afternoon to kinda feel him out on what we could expect for this years increase. he practically confirmed that it is goign to be a blanket increase across the company. i worked my ass off for this company this year. and i have absolutely no earthly idea why i should show them any loyalty. since the conversation i have felt like i was stomach punched. pisses me off.
fuck it. i will just get drunk by myself tonight. anywho. tomorrow is my b-day and i am looking for a good time out and about in the queen city. i am going to get shitty. bar hopping. hanging with friends. maybe play some disc golf tomorrow morning. i don't know.
time to go quench my thirst.
