++ PEOPLE QUESTION MY WORD. why? what good does it do them to question what i say? is that they don't believe me? or are they testing me? on a side note i bargained for a raise in my wage and i got an extra $0.75, which doesn't sound like much, but i did a little math and that turns out to about a difference of $540, and thats after taxes. thats a lot of money. two months rent. enough money to drive to and from seattle to dayton-twice. almost enough money to fly to taiwan. anyway. i should be more grateful than i am. ++
