ultimately, cheese happens....and I curdle at the thought it may not.
it's like this - all is fine in love, war and work.
cool?
right?
yeah?
sorta?
ok....what's up?
not much.
it's good.
better than most people have - ie. i got an incremental pay increase this month. next month i get 3.0% and in october i get another 3.5%. it's locked down and really fucking good.
except?
but?
okay....i should be graded higher.
why?
i'm a grade c.....and i should be top end of grade d - almost an e. but i'm not.
why?
okay, medical problems last year that are all done and dusted.
so....why not?
because
because
because
all because my boss wants me and a colleague - who does the same job, except i do all the departmental finance, co-ordinate the health and safety, initiaite new projects in the building, manage archiving and generally guide her and train her on all she needs to know for the job.
so yeah, we do the same job.......
it's annoying really, and i apprecizte that i dug my own grave in certain extents as i know i took the piss a touch last year....but, the last 6 months i have really applied myself and cleary demonstrated that i am invaluable to the team ethos right now.
my appraisal is in 3 months and i need to make it clear that i am not entirely happy with the equal status as it is because i know that there are things that i cannot pass to her when i'm away as i know they won't get done.

as for now....i just got back from a good night out with colleagues!
far too much to drink.
but fuck it.
it's Saturday tomorrow.
they'll never learn!

LOL
