Aw, crap...


I was standing in my work area yesterday talking to one of the owners when the other brother walked up. He wanted to tell me while they were both there that they were giving me another $1.50 raise.

What did they go and do that for? Don't they know I was planning on jumping ship? Now what the hell am I supposed to do? Dammit. This falls under the same sort of category as when I'm trying to be mad and some woman walks up and shows me her boobs or starts tickling me (no, that's never happened).

While I'm usually very excited (okay, moderately excited) about getting a raise, yesterday's raise gave me mixed emotions.

When I start making a list of good and bad about working there and working at Boeing, the list of good is definitely longer on the La Croix side of the list. Trouble is, it's an "apples/oranges" sort of difference. There are a lot of things about working at Boeing that I didn't like, and I know that I would be reminded of them if I were hired back on there again.

Sigh.

Yes, I'm thinking I'll stick around here for a while longer and see what happens...
