So today was my first day back at work after the two weeks of MADNESS, MADNESS I SAY!
I was feeling rather sore and tired and a tad overwhelmed after the awesomeness of the parties of awesome, so as I wandered in I gave my usual greetings to ensure that the entire office was aware that I was finally back and they could commence fawning over me, and I surveyed the destruction of my desk where some fucker was sitting while I was gone.
Bitch stole my scissors. AND my favourite pen. And fuck me dead she adjusted my chair.
I was ready to cut a bitch. But I had no damn scissors.
Bitch.
As my fellow workers cowered at my wrath and pointed at each other for allowing some bitch to touch my shit, I spied a ‘private and confidential’ letter on my desk.
What the fuck?
I slashed open the letter, brandishing it in the general direction of my workmates, and settled down to read.
As I read a smile spread across my face. A self satisfied, about fucking time, smile.
People gathered around to see what changed my mood so quickly.
I got a pay rise. A performance based pay rise.
Because I am awesome.
And I have a piece of paper to prove it.
Awesome.

you should frame that so you can rub your families collective noses on it anytime they give you crap in future. Or workmates. Or well anyone

They obviously freaked out when they realised you weren’t there and the whole place was falling apart and shit without you. Way to show them they NEED you.
Bake them a cake. There will be more pay rises.

Cool!! Hope some of it rubs off on me; I’ve recently asked Payroll why I wasn’t given my increments on time and they’re investigating. I want back pay, too! The increments aren’t performance-based though — that’s your department!

Now that is awesomest of the awesomeness! I know how you feel, as I, FabGrandma, was the recipient of a cash award on my job. While it was NOT a pay raise, it was a little pile of extra money added to ONE paycheck as a token of their appreciation of ME! and I loved it. It was enough, to say, buy a new camera, maybe.

I’m surprised there is enough money in the company to reward you for your awesomeness. I imagine it is a token gesture as if they truly paid you your full worth, there wouldn’t be enough money to pay for the scissor stealing bitch.
Copngrats Kells, now you can buy more shoes.
[Reply]
I thought you’d been fired?

Stumbled across your site whilst I was suppose to be behaving. Must say I like it! So glad those plebeians finally gave you the goods. .. and don’t let your lack of scissors keep you from cutting the whore, I advise using the letter opener. In my experience it works well.

Yay on the payrise! I have to say if my boss paid me rated on performance, I’d be taking home much less than the little I get now. I’d have to give up, oh, vegetables or something. Thank god for hourly rates.
[Reply]
Wooohoooo! About time someone (with access to funds) noticed
Of course, *we* all knew already, but we don’t have your bank account number.
