It's just different after being able to do and see pretty much anything over the past four years.

Congrats.

I do however like the fact of going out and spending money to celebrate a small raise in a poor economy.


What's the new position?

Trickle down, trickle down

What's the new position?

Really the same one with a different title. I work for a not for profit association, so its difficult to defend any raise more than "cost of living" to our governing board unless it comes with a title change.

Technically, "Account Executive Manager".

Does this mean you are going to get more lead roles in Youtube videos?

Funny you should say that. I have a new video coming out soon!

Some good news to report. I think I mentioned a while back that Triton Container, the container leasing company I do consulting for (I work for Dell Services), was thinking about in sourcing their IT department.

Well, they made the official announcement Monday, and I got my job offer to go work for them today.

Offer includes an 8% raise, and a targeted annual bonus of 10% of my salary. Also, the health insurance benefits are out of this world. It's completely free (nothing out of my paycheck), and the deductible is only $100. Also, they put $1000 a year in an HSA, which rolls over. I can use that to pay the deductible...so basically no matter what happens to me I'm not out anything.

In addition they match $1.20 for every $1 I put into my 401k, up to $6,000.

On top of that I'm going from 10 vacation days to 12, and they reimburse $50 a month towards a gym membership, which will make a big dent in what I spend on CrossFit every month.

No more masturbating at work. Unless you have access to the corporate directory. Man that HR chick is a cutie. What do you mean she is only 15 years old? Who let's their daughter work at their company! Man the CEO was a jerk when he called the police on me. And they say it isn't a tough economy.

/it works if you pace it like Daniel Tosh.
