How to get a wage increase...

ON RAISES:

Simply put, getting a raise is painful. You wish it would automatically happen, but thats not the way it works. It never will. Your boss isn't going to walk right in and say, "Joe, you need a raise. It appears that given the current market value of your services, you should be getting paid $10,000 more. Now, I know the year is almost over, so we'd like to give you a bonus to make up for the rest of the year, then raise your salary by 10,000 next year. How does that sound?"

I'd argue, "Well, I don't know about that. You know, the company has been in a bit of a crunch. Money has been tight since the merger, and you know about the rumor that layoffs are a couple months away. I think that I'd like to stay at my current rate. It would be the best for the company."

"Wow, what an honerable young lad you are (EDITOR: Who says "young lad" anymore?). I think that given the unique value you bring to the company that you really need a raise." He'd respond.

"Relly? Like what?" I'd snap back.

"Well, for example, I've noticed that you've really been delivering on your promises. Not only have you been delivering, but you've been going above and beyond and helping others with their own projects. Don't think that we dont notice that. Don't think that we don't take that into account. We see and appreciate that you trully want to enhance the experience here at our company. In return for your dedication, love for work, and extra hours, we'd like to compensate you. It really is the least we can do."

"How about an office? Can I get an office with a door that closes?" I may begin to believe.

"Yes, we've recently attatched an office to the third story. I myself cant believe they've managed a way to just stick an additional office space on the side of a skyscraper, but by Jobe they've done it (EDITOR: Who says "by Jobe" anymore?).

"I'll take that raise, and I'll take the office. Wow, you're such a great negotiater, where did you learn?"

"Your imagination."

"Ahh... wonderful. Hey, look, my desk is made of chocolate, and my pencil holder is a can of coke. Sweet."

ON THINKING ABOUT GETTING MORE MONEY AT WORK:

But nooooo, its not that easy. No one is going to ask for your raise but you! You need to go out there and get it. But you can't be asking every year, nooooo... that will make you seem like some kind of money monster. If you ask for more money, THAT means that you're just in it for the money. It means you never wanted the job in the first place. It means that in the limbo of life ethics you hold, you're taking that limbo stick a little lower. LIMBO LIMBO LIMBO!

ON GETTING A WAGE INCREASE:

The answer is within. All within. Stop looking at what everyone else in your office is making, stop looking and what they have that you don't. Focus on yourself. What is my maket value? Hmm... check. What unique value do I bring to the company. Hmm... check. Have those two things in your mind when you ask for a raise and you have it made.

Acknowledge and recognize those who have inspired and loved us

ON RECOGNITION:

"Acknowledge and recognize those who have inspired and loved us." - Jen
Please visit http://ontheporchswing.blogspot.com/

Its feels so good to acknowledge and recognize what someone else feels. To the receiver it also feels so good. Its the medicine of humanity, why do you think we have awards?

ON AWARDS:

Funny human invention isn't it? AWARDS! Unfortunately, like many things, its funny how things get warped as they get filtered through our pop culture. At one time, an award ment something. It was recognition that was given to someone publicly so that everyone could know that this person did something outstanding. They went above and beyond. It wasn't something that was just given away as a ritual. It was something that a person really deserved.

ON VALIDATION:

I'm not saying we shouldn't give awards! I'm saying that we should validate the actions others take personally. Not using a piece of paper... I think if you tell someone, "I love you". You look into their eyes when you do it. When you tell someone, "I'm so jealous that you have the ability to perform so well." You look into their eyes. THAT feels good. THAT needs to be done. THAT is part of living a happy life!

On Stuff

ON RELEGION:

I think you better back up. Yes, you. Back up. You want to hear about someones opinion on religeon, but you're already thinking... I will compare what he's got to say with what I know (maybe you're not thinking it, but you're thinking it unconciously). But you know what? Read anyways. PORK CHOP.

"If the world really believed in 'an eye for an eye' we'd all be blind'." - Ghandi I think.

I'm not done talking about religeon, stay tuned.

ON CHOCOLATE:
Its a drug.

ON SMELLY FEET:
They smell. There are so MANY ways to keep your feet from smelling. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE WITH SMELLY FEET?! Its like they think we don't know. But we do. Oh we do.

ON DEMOCRATES AND REPUBLICAN BIASED MEDIA:
They are both evil. I can't believe that some choose one over another. I'm out of the game for now. I'm out simply out. I can't keep getting brain washed for the rest of my life. I'm going to take a break.

If you read this blog all of your wildest dreams will come true.

MOST AMAZING BLOG EVER!

Okay, fine. Its now my goal to make you so incredibly amazed at this blog that you will bite your own arm because it didn't allow your hand to type in aztec-sdsu.blogspot.com FAST ENOUGH. You must read this blog.

This blog is like, amazing, incredible, sexy. F'in sexy. (I just sensored myself. I just F'in sensored my own blog.) There will be no sensoring my blog. Or should I? F**K. SH**T. (Added two ** astricks to the word SH*T, just wanted to throw your A$$ off. I, being, "the sensor" of this blog).

ON SENSORSHIP:

I don't understand it. We, the people... We are the ones that are going to run the whole world (into a hole if we're not careful). WE have been taught to SENSOR our self. We do it mechanically now. We dont even have to think about it. 12 years in government forced school, and we're taught to "sit down, and shut up." SHUT UP?! What? Me? NOW? Okay.

But NO! Stop being a wimp. Wake up. Do the right thing. Dont censor yourself. Unless there are little kiddies around. Then you shut up.

ON TUNA:
Does anyone else smell tuna? Fu*kin' tuna, if it wasn't for them the dolphins wouldn't die.

ON EDUCATION:
Pay teachers more. Make parents play a role in education. Have the hallways smell like roses. Doors which close on the toilet stalls, with little hinges that work. And make sure they aren't short. I hate when people walk up to the door and try to open it. And if its locked, they look over, or peek through the little crack. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?! Keep your eye away from the crack. What do you hope to see? Think about it. Best case scenario, no one is there, worst case scenario: YOU"VE JUST MAKE SOMEONE PREMATURLY PINCH A TURD. Its not worth it. Just hang around outside, or better yet, say: Anyone in there. But stop peeking. For the love of god. Stop peeking.

Apple ipod problems

The unpolished writer: Driving like a madman.

I write as a driver with no wheel. Just a large piece
of metal sticking out of the dashboard, unable to
steer my way. I look foward to having that steering
wheel which will allow me to write in such a way that
wont be so rough, so unfocused, so directionless. I
admire a truckers steering wheel, so large, and so
much harder to manage than your typical car sized
wheel.

Today I've learned that words as a fighter or a song
have strength and weight. They have structure and can
be looked at. Not with eyes as black and white text
or a beutiful formation, but seen as an abstract touch
or lick of feeling. Words can describe the shape of
an emotion. Words can shape a persons feeling and
physical feeling.

Ride rough or drive slow. Always write.
