Yes, This is a good day!

“I just came back from a meeting with my boss,
I just got a $2000.00 a year raise!!!

OMG, Im so happy!


The thing is, is that no one got one last year.
So we are not due for one until Dec. But in Dec, i'll be getting another $2000.00 . I guess it does pay to tell your boss that your looking for another job.

Guys, this has made me so happy. with the last couple of months not being the greatest, this makes up for it a little.

But I still will need to look for another job sometime next spring, cause im still getting underpaid by $10.000.

So today is a good day
want to ride a bus with me?”

“Beers are on maple leaf!”

“Congratulations Maple!
My union just settled our contract recently- Thing is, every other union negotiates for a 4 per cent raise every year. Mine got us less than four percent for each of the three years we've been without a contract- That kinda sux, but then again, I'll still be getting a raise along with a check for the three years worth of raise we've missed so far. I'll finally be able to afford that crack habit I've always wanted.”

“Congrats Maple Leaf!

Spend half of it on gear and beer and the other half you can spend on frivolous things.”

“what happened to map leaf?

congrats!”

“I thought you hated your job?”

“Alright mapleleaf - congrats! Can you HIKE MAINE now???

I'm trying to figure out how to tell my boss I want my old lesser paying job back.”

“She's not going to reply now that she got a raise- If her boss catches her-
"I just gave you two grand extra a year, and you're TTing? DAMMIT, POTTY MOUTH!"”

“Congrats ML.

Our company gives us a 1 percent raise whether we need it or not. The way it works is you get and extra $10 a month in the paycheck and health insurance rises by $20 a month.”

“still do bet know I get paid to hate it more!



no I like my job but hate the pay. I love my boss even though I tease her!!
I wish I could have the job of my dreams... something outdoors and away from the busy life of the city!”

“Why would you do that, twig? Better hours? Less hassle?”

“Hay the next beer and the Bus Fare are all on me!!!



screw the bus, lets get a limo!!”

“Will it be a short yellow one? Wait, that'd be a taxi.”

“Good for you maple leaf. Have fun spending your new money.”

“No cheese buses for my friends...



its LIMO time”

“mapleaf was banned along time ago in a place far far away from here.........”

“Nasty, the money's nice, but I enjoyed my old job.

What about new gear and maps maple, huh ??”

“funny you should ask,
i need to get maps of Mt Antero in Colorado
and Im going to need some grown up gear, like a tent and boots. you know the gear that will make gear slut proud of me!!”

“We pay our union $50 a month to raise our salary $10 a month”

“Sounds familiar, biz. Every time they get us a raise, they raise the dues. Freakin' bums.”

“Maybe when they lock up all the execs who bleed money out of corporations they can afford to pay the people who do the work what they deserve?

Wadja tink?”

“I'm sure my boss would love to be allowed to pay me what I deserve, but I'm not too fond of kicks in the nuts.”

“Congrats, Maple Leaf!!!”

“$2000 that is so pimp!

Congrats!

“guys, im sorry i posted something like this. i had no right too. i was just so surpriced and happy that I wanted to share it with all of you. but I still should not have posted something liek this.

Im sorry!”

“Why be sorry? We're glad for you. Some a bit jealous, but glad nevertheless.”

“thats not why I posted it. i don't want anyone to be jealous. Its just I never had anything like that happen to me.”

“Nah...we're just all happy that you received something you more than deserved. Congrats on getting something we all wish we could get!”

“No reason at all to apologize- I know I'm happy to hear your good news, what's there to be sorry about?”

“that's right, no need to apologize...If that happened to me, I'd be heading out to buy some new gear! =)”

“CAHCHING! you da woman!”

“I for one am glad to see your apology. We all know one should never bring up such topics as politics, religion, or income in such a formal setting as TT.”

“Finally, some good news from the grunts. Considering how stocks and companies are failing...you're very fortunate to get a raise...any raise. Happy for ya.”

“check your yahoo email”

“Just when I decide the moola may be worth it, I hear (through the grapevine no less, god forbid someone might cc me on the e-mail that went to the rest of the freakin' world) that I'm supposed to attend a hearing on Thursday! Whatcha bet my boss tries to tell me I have to give up my day off.

This may be it, as I am going to be on the HIKE MAINE trip!”
