I am going to whine to you guys some more. Earlier this evening I had a really bad coughing fit and I felt some pretty bad pain in my left side by one of my ribs. I think I coughed hard enough to actually fracture my ribs. :scared1: It HURTS just to breathe but especially when I cough and when I move certain ways. :sad:
 
I just booked the 12/06/08 Eastern.

Cat 9 #2614 with No transfers/insurance was $3409.xx. :woohoo:



Becka - does that include your onboard re-booking discount?

I am looking at the 5 day DD. Waiting for a quote from Barb at Platinum. We did not re-book onboard though so I am guessing it will be expensive.

No. We did not rebook onboard. Of course now that seems like an obvious thing to have done but at that point I was not sure when we would cruise again.

that can happen - take some pain medication and see how it is later - you might need to have it checked out.
 
I am worn out.

increase in childcare
increase in Health Ins
less PTO as now that I have been here 5 years my pto goes up to 30 days per yr
change...well, that aspect is not all the troublesome except that I don't know how "forgiving" (for lack of a better word) this co is, I mean, if Samantha has a program at school or they are sick I can come and go as I please...well, I can pretty much any of the time.
Also, distance - this is quite a bit further away and will add on travel time to and from and requires me really going out of my way to get to the girls school.



Maybe there is an option of reviewing your job description with human resources and getting a timeline from them based on your qualifications, others in the same job, new openings etc. I would play hard ball and see if he can't do better with his response. Tell him point blank that the only thing that will convince you to stay is an outline of your promotional timetable. You said there were current requisitions out there for senior accts. - when will you be eligible for these? Cuz it sounds like you are getting lower on the totem pole there and harder to climb up from. KWIM?

They will respect you for wanting to hammer out your value to this company.

I know at my last company - we counter-offered within 15% of salary -if it was more than that they felt it was cheaper to start over again with a new employee. Less than that - it was worth it to retain the old employee.

Since your girls are young - the hidden benefit of being able to come and go and the 30 days of leave is invaluable. But getting a higher salary benefits you every year going forward and this can add up quickly.

You know what you are worth in the market now - that is good information. At some point, staying put too long becomes a hindrance in your career and companies definitely overlook you - but that might be what you need to do now when the girls are young.

good luck with your decision!!!

This is going to sound really strange, but do not take a hot shower, go outside in the cold and breath really cold air for 5 minutes.
 
I'm downloading it now. Something to look forward to tomorrow John1.

I haven't been in my personal email all day - color shuffles. Oooooh pretty I want one.....

John still not tempted, but if there were a purple one, i would be in trouble.

OK, now Savannah is crying! Loved the video John! She is seriously sobbing. I miss Sophia! I miss Kaitlyn! She wants to know if they are crying too.

Kim

Just an FYI for those of you with video iPods . . .

(I think this works on Windoze too)

You can import a quicktime movie into iTunes so that you can watch on your video iPod. File->Import . . .

I've done this with other slide shows that I have done.

We are a CAT 4 on the WB, waitlisted for a CAT 3. An I have to say, that is the WORST INFLATION I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! Seriously, $2000 - $3000 in one hour? I got such a good price on the 4, I don't know if hubby will want the 3?

Lisa,:grouphug: you did not deserve this!!!

Kim,

I'll keep reading, but if you did not already, explain what you are talking about . . . :confused3

I booked the 5 night Bahama Double Dip today. :cool1: I was shocked at how cheap it was... $3300 for the 4 of us in a category 6. That includes ground transfers but not insurance (will get that on my own). Got a real nice room location but unfortunately there was only late dining available. I hated late dining, it was TOO late, so hopefully I can get on a wait list and be moved.



how could all the early dining be gone on the first day of booking? is this cruise going to be really popular?

we got a quote of $2500. in a Cat. 8 for the 4 of us on Deck 7.

Becka - you would recommend against Deck 5 because of the noise? we loved Deck 5 for the convenience.
 
John, how was the flight home?

How much of what you wanted to in DC did you get done?

Pj
 
Can someone explain the difference in the size of the stateroom between Cat. 8 and Cat. 6. What is left out that makes the room 50 sq. ft. smaller?

Well PJ, if you are talking the politics, very little. I am one very frustrated person right now, that is questioning why I even went. I got an email from my Congressman's aide, who told me he advised him not to sign my stupid, innocuous pledge. I sent back a very terse email.

As far as the city, I did not do much more than I mentioned. While there were about 30 other people from Ohio that I could have spent time with, most of them are old enough to be my parent, so I kind of kept to myself, which is not as much fun for doing things.
