Definitely do it in person and take the approach of “I was offered $17.50 initially and I have show I am reliable/hardworking over the last 4 months, and I would like to earn $X now” rather than “it’s not fair I was told this rate but got paid less”. Specific examples to show your value are helpful, use a friendly but firm approach, but recognize usually employers have complete discretion in wages unless you are part of union or have a contract so there’s a chance they will say no.

Another option is to use those 4 months of experience to get a new warehouse job with better pay. People tend to earn more job hopping than waiting for raises.

Apparently I’m disgusting because I only brush and floss at night. I wish I was the sort of person who brushed after every meal but I just can’t be bothered. I haven’t had a cavity in years though, so I guess it works for me.

I guess I should clarify I start offering hugs to people. I would never just wrap my arms around someone unless I knew it was ok.

You are right about government hiring taking forever. It took me about 5-6 months from the time I applied to my first government job to actually starting.

I agree, the plant looks fairly large compared to the pot. It would probably appreciate a bit more space.

Those plants are so unusual looking! Thank you for sharing.

Most of David Sedaris’s books could fit the bill. His books are usually a collection of short stories with an overarching theme and are funny and easy to follow.

I’ve only ever flown on Southwest, which is basically the Greyhound bus of the sky.

I’m not sure of the first song, but the first music I ever bought myself was II by Boyz II Men.

I am kind of dreading this week. Last week while on vacation, I rolled my ankle and fell onto a bunch of rocks. My ankle is sprained and my whole leg is bruised and swollen. I do not want to be at work today, but I don’t have a lot of sick leave so I’m trying to push through. I have so many things I need to take care of but it hurts to do almost everything.
