How does one ask a raise without sounding greedy?
This year I'm much more busy than last year so I kind of don't consider it worth it in terms of money to continue teaching some children mathematics for what I used to get paid. I suppose I do enjoy doing it, but for that money I'd rather do other things I suppose..
How do I explain this and ask for a raise, most likely through texting or similar, without sounding greedy?

The Celebrity Phone Hacking
I'm kind of happy of the response to this, ten years ago the victims would be blamed in the media, it seems the message that it's not the victim's fault that they were violated has come across strongly. I think that wouldn't have been the case just 10 years ago

Well krellin I'm glad I read your posts, your 30 seconds of effort made a big difference in both of my interviews. I expect at least one offer, and possibly two.

Best of luck to you, YJ! I'm glad to hear they helped. Though, for the record, I had to download, open docs, paste them into google docs....It may have taken me like 3....3 1/2 minutes even! But I would have gone as far as 5 for you. :)

Hmmmm.....uhhhh....NO. If he wants a new dictionary he needs to aspire to making himself useful enough that someone will pay him so that he can acquire the things he wants. I don't believe in hand-outs. I'm a product of capitalism, and I work for what I want, and make sure I'm desirable to those that need my services, and they pay me the wages I require to get the things I want.

Putin, were you stuffed in a locker all your life? Did you get bullied? Is that why you read the dictionary?
krellin (80 DX)

Awwww.....sorrrry Putty baby, I'm a *capitalist* and have cash coming out my ears enough to pay for my kids needs, take lavish vacations, and buy expensive toys I use once and then put in the closet to collect dust.

Besides, my kids work for their needs - so I don't even have to pay for everything they want, because they make their own money when they can. meaning that in a few short years, they will probably be more successful that you as they embrace capitalism and work their asses off to succeed. that's how it works for normal people in this country with work ethic and intelligence.

Putin,

I don't see what you are trying to do in this thread. Krellin found a job and created some google docs with some pretty decent tips for interviewing and some people have commented on how useful they seem to be. Even if you don't like him, why are you putting him down? From your very first comment, you insulted him and even the firm that hired him to a whole industry when you know nothing about the firm that hired him, what job he actually has and so forth. And then you called him a breeder and dragged his kids into this. That's just uncalled for and it's petty.

By the way, krellin, those are great interview tips. Gotta put those in the memory bank.

5 million is a lot of times! Yikes. Putin did you learn to count that high from reading the dictionary?
zultar (4180 DMod(P))
03 Sep 14 UTC
I'm not telling you to be nice to him if you bother reading what I actually said.
Moreover, when krellin has done things like that, people have pointed it out and when he overstepped the line, the mods have silenced him for it. Since we have established new forum rules and norms, we have been trying to follow and apply them consistently. You are not an exception.
Putin33 (111 D)
03 Sep 14 UTC
You interject to give these dressing downs in virtually every thread I post in now, and most of the time I have done nothing except expressed my opinion on an issue everybody else is apparently entitled to express their opinion about. The notion that this is about 'rule enforcement' is a load of garbage. Bo Sox told somebody to go kill themselves and didn't say a word about it.

You're just being a nuisance.
Putin33 (111 D)
03 Sep 14 UTC
In a just world Krellin would have been thrown in jail for his serial harassment of multitudes of people here. Instead I'm told to not belittle him. Fuck that. He may have kissed your ass enough to restore his vicious nasty voice back here but he hasn't apologized to the countless people he has directed his hate against, and even if he did he wouldn't be granted forgiveness.

So fuck him and fuck the people who protect him.
zultar (4180 DMod(P))

No one is protecting krellin and after his silence, he is another member on the site. He has been dutifully punished, but continual attack against him is not ok. If he steps out of line again, he'll be silenced as I've indicated to him explicitly, but he has not done that and in this thread, he is celebrating a positive change to his life AND he has helped others.
Putin33 (111 D)
03 Sep 14 UTC

I don't care if you think he's had a come to Jesus moment. You may think he's been "punished" but he continues to attack people as he did before.

But you guys are the same moderators who think Bosox telling people to go fuck and kill themselves is acceptable. So forget it.

NFL Pick 'em: Pre-Week 1 Prediction Edition!
Week 1 of the 2014-15 NFL Season kicks off on Thursday with the Packers looking to get revenge for the Fail Mary vs. the *grrr* defending Super Bowl Champion Seahawks. We'll do the proper Pick 'em when that gets closer, but since we usually do playoff picks before that...this is that. So--your 6 playoff picks in both the AFC and NFC, winners in the Wild Card, Divisional, and Conference Championship rounds, and then, the Super Bowl winner...PICK 'EM! ;)
