My manager is a liar. He told me that I would get a pay rise for reaching my goals. I did, but didn't get the raise

LOL for me this is the last month of a 3 month wait to move to our new house (currently living with mother in law. Lovely lady, comfy home, awesome food, awkward moment when I found my underwear on the bed, ironed and folded)

Also last few days of arguing with my wife on what second car to get, then waiting for the dealership to deliver it.

Also last week of waiting for work to change my ancient LG phone that only holds charge for 3 hours to a new android. Approved but 4 weeks delivery.

Also still waiting for the x100. But in the grand scheme of things... its the least of my worries. I'm currently in a zen state, breathe in- breathe-out, dont think about who is late, why, and how much longer before I finally get my friggin stuffff gaaaaaaahhhhh

yep I could theoretically do that too (not every week and not new, but refurbished returns), but that would mean calling in favours which are crucial for my survival in this unhealthy and political corporate environment and I'm saving them for more important things.

Well, they must have landed in Sydney first; must be on a truck on the way here!

No staff get in-demand items! It'll be first in, first served once they arrive; which means pre-orders.

Nah, we'll leave it a few days then call and tell you we've raised the price.

Kidding.
