So, I asked for another raise at work.....  We had already done this at contract negotiation time.  But when I got my paycheck, my raise only gave me $5 a WEEK in extra takehome pay.  I thought that that was crap.  So I asked for $50 a week takehome and we will see what happens.  When I told her about it being $1 a day, she was shocked.  She thought it would be much more than that.  I told her that I thought it would be much higher as well.  So I'm just going to sit back and see what they say.  But deep down... I know I am worth every bit of a $50 increase each week.
