Is that like being a senior citizen?

Work decided to thwart my grand schemes of rebellion by giving me a promotion and raise this year

youtube is your friend. I suggest trying to find "Wicked Sensitive Crew" and "State of Massachusetts" .

Congrats on the raise - money is always good. As for the promotion, I guess that's good too since it looks like you went up the technical ladder (they couldn't pay me enough to be a manager).

[flasher]

I keep saying that myself. Unfortunately, I am weak when it comes to certain people giving mepuppy dog eyes and waving really nifty toys in my direction so I get conned into it.

You mean that title is NOT a technical ladder title? Wow - it would be where I work. I have my feet firmly planted on there.

PS - the ms_dblk further down your comments is my mom.

Not really. In theory, there are two "career paths" at my work. One is up through management with all the traditional shortfalls built in. The other is more focused on engineering and you get to remain an engineer. I'm trying to do one, they're trying to get the other.

Yay, congratulations!
