Actually, I was feeling rotten before the oops and the PM's comments; but it's getting better. And I'm not always working as hard as I could; really I think he was saying "don't be seen or heard hanging out having conversations since everyone knows you don't have time for it."
Yeah, no reviews means no raises. Last raise of any kind was in July of 2001. The tax cut has essentially amounted to a bit of a raise; not that I think the tax cut was warranted but I suppose in this particular case it's been a help.
And yeah, the contribution for health care goes up, the rent goes up, the gas bill goes up, the ISP bill goes up...but the salary stay blithely unaware.
