I got a raise today! W00t! - Tuner-Junction

So, i was at work today. All like...doin some ninja testing and sh1t. It's friday as usual so i was starting the office pool on whether this one guy would come in or not (he calls in 'sick' every damn friday almost), and was makin the other guys laugh and whatnot. My boss was rollin'.
Then i started complaing a lil bit about how he is never there, and never does work, and i can do 2x or 3x as much work in a day as him but he gets paid more (since he's been there like 3? years i think, and i've been there 6 months).

Then my boss says...did you get your check yet this week? I was like..nahh dood, i didn't have time to pick it up. He said "take an extra close look at it, i think you'll like it." I was like...wha what??

Turns out my boss' boss saw (by reading our progress reports, and seeing how much testing was signed off under everyone) how much sh1t i do and was like "give that d00d a raise, and teh rep"

.

It was fvcking sweet.
so, to sum it up...i rock/had a good day

$5/hr raise... not to shabby, depending on the hours you work that is roughly 5000-10k a year more you get, congrats... go to the strip club and get a few lap dances my friend.
