I doubt it. I think most of our profits we made last year have paid for my raise with little more left. Alas there is very little glamour in the real world of architecture. Hang in there mapleleaf things will get better.

Mapleleaf, my company is usually hiring hiring unskilled, low-paid people after driving off us high-paid old farts. Of course you'd have to commute to Texas....

I forgot to say I still think life is good, even if I haven't had a raise in a while and don't expect one any time soon.

Why is it that I see Mapes working at the auto pound in my mind's eye?

Life is good. No longer anything to complain about, as the snow continues to fall my snowmobile is just begging for me to climb on and ride the weekend away.

I just found out for sure yesterday that they finally made my promotion official and the corresponding pay raise will be on my next check. Woohoo!

Oh.......I have a dang good idea what you're talkin' about.

Last year I had a cataract and in December my lenses were replaced.
Now my distance vision is near perfect and I only need cheap reading glass to read.

Ran to the top of a mountain after work - my favorite local run. Enjoyed the view.

My wife made dinner for her aunt & cousins, shared with California wine. It was a good day!

I'm bragging, but it's out of gratitude. Life was not always so sweet.

I hear ya.

When the girls (16-17) would get giggly in class (it happens) and the others would start to lose their patience, I would tell them to calm down and let the girls laugh.

I would always say, 'We cry enough in a lifetime and we must laugh when we can.'
