I'm a bit deflated at the mo, as The Company (the one I work for) has decided to only award me a 1.68% pay rise this year. I know that a lot of people have not received a payrise this year, and some 'executives' have even taken paycuts, but it's still a slap in the face, especially as I don't think I've been as busy since I joined the team. And rail prices have risen by 8% this year, which is a real kick in the teeth. Still, in 2009 rail prices will probably have to decrease, as deflation is on the cards. So actually a payrise of 1.68% may actually turn out to be more like a rise of 3%.
There you go, I'm getting more cheerful already!
TTFN.
