Remember I mentioned that I bit the bullet and asked for a raise this past Monday?
Well, I didn't hear anything at all about it one way or the other by Friday afternoon. So, I planned on talking to Sh, our Communications Director about it on Monday, to see what she would suggest I do. (She is the President's daughter and VP's niece).
I had to leave 30 minutes early on Friday to get to a Dentist appointment.
While I am sitting in the waiting area, I get a call from S, the VP. He asks me where I am - and I tell him that I had to leave early for a dentist appt. He then tells me that he was ready to talk to me about my raise!! But that we could do it on Monday instead.
Oy vey! I could have found out about my raise Friday afternoon and had the whole weekend to rework my budget - but no, I had to go to the dentist! 
The one good thing is that I now know I will have an answer by Monday. Yay! Maybe it will go into effect by this Friday's paycheck, which would be awesome!
Moral of the story: It's good to take care of your teeth - just don't do it when you're waiting for an answer from your boss!
P.S. I ended up having 2 small cavities. Not too bad considering that it had been over 3 years since I last went to the dentist.
All because of a dentist appt!

Its fun to dream, but save your excitement when you talk to him on Monday.

I can hardly wait for Monday to come! (Not often that I say that - especially since I'm going to a play tomorrow afternoon with my mom and stepdad!)
