On Let's Talk About: Performance Reviews
@Lily Rowan @bgprincipessa Haha like I said, my math isn't that great, it could've been 2%. Either way, it came out to $400/year before taxes and I had been told at my interview that the average increase after a year of employment was more than this (exact numbers).

On Let's Talk About: Performance Reviews
I work for a crappy company and after my first performance review they offered me a 4% raise and I was flustered and didn't do the math and when I did the math, it came out to about a $400/year raise so I flip the shit out. And then this year I got another stellar review, asked for a raise, and was denied again for no discernable reason other than 'oh well we can't do raises at this point in time, I know it's hard for you to live on your yearly salary lol'. Needless to say I am actively searching for a new job.

On How The American Express Gift Card Became the Bane of My Existence
Or you could take 30 minutes on your day off to register the cards online, track your balances there, get a real wallet and a purse and then just use them instead of your credit/debit cards. Also I wouldn't care what some 16 year old grocery store cashier thinks of what card you're using.

On Places I Have Lived: A Lady Hostel, a Live Show, and That Fireplace
This is why I still live with roommates in Chicago. Hopefully in a year I will have a new job that makes it possible to live alone, but I can't imagine paying a grand for rent.

On The Informational Interview Is Actually a Thing You Should Do, Yes
Great advice, thank you. I've done this a few times and sometimes people actually want to meet you in person and show you their office and stuff and it's great. Sadly it hasn't led me to a job yet but I hold on to those contact FOREVER.
