any ideas on how to ask for a raise? I am tired of being poor. I am tired of complaining that I am poor. I am complaining about complaining. Ah well, the dream had to end sometime. Finding a job that makes me happy doesn't make me happy if I don't get paid well, so I think the choice between being happy in my job and being poor would be a better option than hating my job but being paid well. Wait what? I thought having a job that made me happy would be better than money. At first it was okay, but now the fact that I am poor is making me unhappy, so I didn't win. I HATE having to ask for a raise, because I figure that if the company could afford to give me a raise then they would. And if I ask for a raise and the company can't afford to pay me, then I feel like I should leave and try to find a different job. But I don't want a different job. This sucks. I am just going to wallow in the sucks part for a while. I am sure I'll feel better tomorrow.
