I’m doing the job of three people. My boss is nice and keeps saying he’s going to give me a raise but still hasn’t. I’m also never invited to lunch or closed door meetings with “the boys”! What more can I do? Please help! Frustrated Dear Frustrated I understand your frustration, but let’s look at this calmly. The fact that a male supervisor is obviously being short sighted about your value to the business is nothing new. This is not a good time in the economic cycle to be changing jobs. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t polish up your resume. People like you are extremely valuable and someone will recognize that. Keep your frustrations to yourself and continue to do what is asked of you and move on when the opportunity presents itself. You are not going to change the thinking where you are nor should you have to. I know it doesn’t seem fair, but having a stable income right now is more valuable than fair. Your loss will be felt. Al Dear Boomer Al I have a female colleague who keeps coming into my office to complain to me about the boss and everything on her mind even when I’m on the phone. She makes gestures and it’s very distracting. I’ve even shut my door and spoken to her about it but she keeps doing it. I don’t want to get her in trouble. Thanks. James Dear James Something else is going on here. This woman is not looking for advice as much as your attention I think. You haven’t said anything about that end of it but guys are famous for being numb in such areas. She must also be getting the message from you somehow that you enjoy the attention. You need to sit down and have a talk and get to the bottom of it and tell her how you really feel about things. Failing that, you have to talk to your boss and let him or her deal with it. You might hint that you have this rare contagious disease that causes all your hair to fall out. Borrow some hair from the barber and spread it around your chair. You will find that people will no longer be an issue at work. Al Need to buy or sell a house ... check this out! _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ I read a shocking column in this morning's paper about the shameful behavior in Wisconsin. It seems that the county fair will never be the same now that "fitters" have been exposed for tampering with the cow utters in an attempt to win the bovine swimsuit competition. Utterly disgusting. It's time to get this Iraq thing over with. The war will last a week. The debate has gone on for twelve years. Really. There has been much talk about how the conservative radio personalities have overrun the radio. To be fair I spent the week looking for liberal radio personalities to listen to. I found this one gal who I guess has been on the air for some time. I couldn't believe the hysterics and the outright distortions of even mundane issues. I found myself incapable of listening for any amount of time. Fifteen year mortgages are a great deal for the bank. That's why they reduce the interest. Do your homework. Just my opinion. Don't like it? So tell me off at ... The Forum at Boomer Journals _.·´¯) Boomer Ha Ha! (¯`·._ I didn't know if my granddaughter has learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask her what color it was. She would tell me and always she was correct. But it was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself." _.·´¯)Attitude Counts! (¯`·._ "You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to" Robert H. Schuller Let's face it. Change is always difficult. We tend to change when forced to. Too bad we don't entertain the idea before the crisis rather than after. What must you change before it's too late? Vow to begin the process today. You can if you want to. Have fun. It's later than you think. Al Automotive tips on buying, leasing, repair rip-offs, automobile insurance reduction, and more!
