... but I like hearing music I don't own. ...

...and an mp3 player. ;-)


*Anyone have digital cable? The selections for me are too general. You listen to 80s music channel, you get some good songs, some you say 'wow I haven't thought about that song in a long time', but you also get a lot of 'please shut it off, I never want to hear that song again, ever!' songs.

I have digital cable, but haven't spent more than 2 minutes total, listening to the music on there.

Anyway this week I found out my long awaited promotion/raise, and the many, many, months of backpay, was not going to happen. My immediate bosses were very mad on my behalf, but they can't do anything more. It was squashed by an HR department that has no idea what our department does. They think mainframe programmers aren't important, yet the mainframe systems handles all the data and the PCs systems piggy-back off of them. I've worked on systems that control billions of dollars, effect millions of people, yet I don't have enough responsibility to justify the promotion. I have a few options left, but I feel beat down by the system. I had the chance to switch departments, which would have gotten me the promotion, but I choose to stay out of loyalty and I like what I'm doing. Hindsight is 20/20, but this sucks. I mean, I took a pay cut to start this job, expecting I would get a raise quickly.

Wow, that sucks. That kind of thing would gnaw at me until I moved on to a better job, found some way to exact revenge, or ideally, both! Seriously, though, I think it's your boss's job to find a way to make it happen for you if he really does think you deserve it.
