HeadphoneAddict Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 just scheduled a dentist appointment. my "temporary" crown, which i've had in for two years (due to hating every dentist in my immediate area [mostly due to games played with billing], though i finally found somebody i liked earlier this year), just lost its shell, so i have a nice grey peg where i used to have a maxillary lateral incisor. my insurance company finally came through with their predetermination (i need three new crowns), so i'll get the party started this coming week. Yikes, I don't know anyone that likes going to the dentist for these things (except maybe Steve Martin, in Little Shop of Horrors). My wife and I both had two molars opposite of each other crack, a couple of years apart for each of us. They said it must have been something that happened with a glitch in the development of the teeth. We both got crowns as these cracks occurred, but both of mine cracked all the way down the root and had to be replaced with implants. Oh the horror!

raffy Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Asked my boss for a promotion and raise today and she fully approves. She's getting back to me about it after she kicks off the process with HR. I've been putting off asking for months but I'm glad I did. With any luck I'll get my raise by the start of next year. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvlgato Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Grats, raffy! HPA, IIRC, I think Steve Martin WAS the dentist. Bill Murray liked to go for the visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Very big congrat Raffy! Me: Replaced the switch for the garbage disposal. That was not the problem. I guess I will be posting in the mindless consumerism thread shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffy Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks gang! To clarify, my boss completely supports my promotion but still has to go to HR to apply for it. It being approved depends on head count, budget, etc. This company is very good at employee-related stuff like this so I'm cautiously confident in my chances.

raffy Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Congrat Raffy! Raises are good. Will the promotion impact what you do much? Not really. I pretty much told them I've taken on more responsibilities and expanded my skillset vastly over the past few years so much so that I think I deserve a promotion. I've been with the company 5 years with no more than routine cost of living adjustment raises so I told them I was not doing my due diligence I owed myself if I didn't ask for a raise. Thankfully my boss agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
