AW - Finally S@cked Up

My job was insane in 2012 and looks to stay that way for the next three months at least. My annual review was yesterday and I had to come up with a new salary request.

I went back and forth between asking for what I think I deserve (about a 13% raise) and asking for what I knew I could get (about a 6% raise) and finally told myself that being afraid of asking for more is one reason women don't make as much as men. So I went for the 13%.

My boss didn't even flinch. He told me I had earned it and deserved it and just needed to confirm the funding. I should get confirmation by next Friday. I'm so glad that I gave it a shot.

I might be able to hire that cleaning lady after all.
