Thanks for the suggestion! I honestly have no idea how this is going to go over, which is why I am so torn on how to do it. I've heard mixed things from others at work (in general about raises, not about my situation).

My 90 day review is Thursday. I don't know if my pay rate is part of the discussion, but I need it to be. How should I go about this? Send an email ahead of time saying that I want to discuss my pay?

I love it, print and all. Can you share where it's from?

I waffled on going out with the guy I'd gone out with 2x. Last night we were texting and I told him I watched For The Bible Tells Me So and what it was about. Turns out he is against gay marriage. And that's done.

Tomorrow is my 90-day review. I have to talk with my boss about money. If I don't get a raise I will have to quit. I can't make so little money...my salary is pitiful and I hope she can do something about that. I found out today that a guy who has no background whatsoever in the field started the job at a higher rate than me and I have a damn MA in the field. I can't use that info without it being clear that I know what he started it, so I will just seethe on it during the talk.

I already did. This would be a 3rd date.

Sorry you've found yourself in the situation, but best of luck to you going forward. My exH was also awesome...until he wasn't, so I totally get what you're saying. Welcome and definitely feel free to jump in our conversations!

Sorry @pdx18.

I like mp's response to his answer. After that, I'd see if he responses and if not, I'd just let it fizzle out from there.

I took a nap and woke up dehydrated. Damn alcohol.

My mom is on Facebook now. God help me.

jigsy, that is adorable. Why just 90% perfect?

Show me!

I did a little shopping yesterday and came out with just 3 things, but I really like them!

This from H&M:


I bought a pair of white linen shorts to go with the above top (it's a very lightweight top, great for cool summer evenings).



And these shorts, which contrary to the picture, are not high-waisted:

And now that I'm on the Forever21 site, I see lots of other shorts that I need, lol.

I think it's fine to let him know you don't mind if he needs space to decompress and that a single text letting you know that he's taking time to do so would be appreciated.

I am going to get a pedicure today!!!!!! I wanted to lay by the pool, but it's stormy and rainy again today.

I slept in late today, but I knew I might because work kicked my ass this week. I am going to head to the gym shortly. Afterward, I am going to get a pedicure and I am so excited!! Tonight I am going to trivia night with some friends and I may get some shopping in beforehand, so today is shaping up to be a good day. Storms are possible, but hopefully they don't impact the day too much.

I went on a date last night. Very nice guy, has his stuff together, but I find him to be very...uninteresting? Recently I was talking to my bff and we talked about what I am looking for in someone and I am looking for someone who I find to be fascinating.

So grateful you are okay jojoandleo
