Employee: "Excuse me sir, may I talk to you?"
Boss: "Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?"
Employee: "Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this firm for over ten years."
Boss: "Yes."
Employee: "I won't beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have four companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first."
Boss: "A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time."
Employee: "I understand your position, and I know that the current economic down turn has had a negative impact on sales, but you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade."
Boss: "Taking into account these factors, and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time. How does that sound?"
Employee: "Great! It's a deal! Thank you, sir!"
Boss: "Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?"
Employee: "Oh, the electric company, gas company, water company and the mortgage company!"

Stressed to max last night over a friend mentioning she pre books her seats on plane. I just po poed this, extra money...
Why I looked at booking seats I have no idea, so I notice the plane is pretty well full up & us sitting together (8 people) may not happen.
and only £7 each (I was thinking £30)
Find some rows we can all be together, but needed to convince friends I am happy to pay for them.... Then transfer money into their bank account.
Then book mine & they book theirs (separate bookings) at the same time so we get the seats..
Did mine, friends phone died on payment page :eek::eek::eek:
Not booked but still showing taken...
!!!!!!

text received this morning - all done phew
