it's not either or!
okay, first of all: i am not OVERHEAD. just because i don't "do" anything to bring money into the organization does not mean you don't NEED me. none of you HAVE to be part of this organization, so if you want to open your own private practices and take care of your own financials, that's fine by me. but until then, I DO WORK FOR YOU and just because you don't SEE it on a daily basis, doesn't mean it's not HAPPENING. i can continue using this old gateway computer if you want, but you're too stupid to see how INEFFICIENT this is. spending a few hundred dollars on a new computer is not outrageous, especially if it's going to be split thirty ways and may i remind you that YOU ARE DOCTORS and i see your financials and this is absolutely ridiculous.
second of all: one shouldn't have to pull teeth to get a "raise" that i am sure will only equate to a cost of living increase. again, I AM NOT OVERHEAD. THERE IS SHIT I DO FOR YOU THAT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT.
do i want a raise or a new computer? i think you're only kidding with that question but i can't be sure. the answer is do you want an employee that feels valued or do you want someone that is pissed off and looking at the help wanted ads all the damn time?
i am ready for my f'ing vacation.

love you my friend. thanks for sucking out all my money. you are appreciated... and i value our friendship more than you can imagine.
and enjoy your @#$# vacation.
This is why I don't like going to work.
OT: have you ever thoughout about an alternate blog called "unbleached"? because I think that would be awesome.
come to boston. we will find you a job at MIT with great benefits (but no blogingpaul)
Take the raise. It's THEIR stupid computer that's costing THEM money in the form of YOUR time.
Not that they'll ever figure that out, of course.
paul - love you too. thanks friend.
des - concise. i love it. you made me laugh out loud.
rachel - ot? also, i'd much rather have a blogingpaul than great work benefits.
sarah - you may want to review my post title. :)

This is precisely how I feel about my own circumstances.
I am right there with mdog and joy. anytime you have a job, anywhere, someone thinks that they have a right to determine your value in the world. whatever. this is why i want to have a mini-farm. it will then be for me to decide if my work is valuable or not. mainly by whether i live or die. :)
