Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[odeon]

I was offered a very reasonable increase in salary, plus some additional benefits, at my current job. The 12-yo was at his humblest and we had a long chat about my notice and what he could do to reverse it. It turns out he was able to do a lot when pressed hard enough. It seems that my service are important to the company.

Anyway, I have decided to stay after all.

I hope he stands by his word and becomes easier to work with.  Sometimes after the first meeting, it's easier going forward to confront if things start to slip.

  ^ That's true, if he fails to keep his word, you can remind him what he promised. 

I have his promises in writing. It's going to be very difficult for him to do anything else.

Wow, I didn't see that coming.  I'm glad that you are valuable enough to your company for them to make you a good counteroffer and for the 12 year old to eat humble pie.

I didn't realise I was that valuable, tbh. I knew I'd be difficult to replace because what I do is very different from what most developers do, but I always thought that wouldn't matter all that much to the powers that be.

Do you view the 12 year old in a better light now?

Somewhat better. I try my best not to think of him as an idiot, basically.

I decided to have another look on ebay for Voyager in the hard covers. All the ones I wanted were there. Two of them I have bought and the others I have placed bids for.

I saw some communicator pins I would like but I think I have done enough spending for now.

My brother is staying for the night. I haven't seen him in more than a year.

I found out today before work that my brother and his girlfriend and their son are moving out here. She got the job she applied for. They are moving out here in two weeks. Now the only one left is my other brother who has not moved back here yet. I dunno if he will or not.

He finally sent the cigars. That's his luck. Now I don't have to blow his house up!
