job stuff...
i think i'm safe; my boss doesn't read my blog.
so, i've just breezed past my official 5 year anniversary at work... 1.5 years at the beginning of my tenure didn't "count" because i chose to keep it temporary (more $/hour)... i've had my current position for a little over a year. and i kinda want to talk to the boss-man about dropping the "associate" from the beginning of my title (which essentially means asking for a promotion).
i have never done that before... i feel kinda weird about it; it seems like saying, "hey, it doesn't seem like you notice or appreciate me as much as i think you should. care to prove it?"
