HOW TO ASK FOR A RAISE

We could all use some extra money, some of us even deserve it, but not all of us know how to broach the subject of a raise with our boss. Here are a few tips on how to ask for a raise without looking greedy or desperate.

#1.) BUILD YOUR CASE. Come in with a list of specific things you've done to deserve a raise. It also helps if, while you're reminding your boss what a good worker you are, you can also point to examples of how you actually save the company money.

#2.) RESEARCH THE GOING RATE. Use the internet to find out what people in your profession are making, and let your boss know if you know you're being underpaid.

#3.) IT'S ALL IN THE TIMING. Don't ask for a raise during your performance review when both you and your boss are struggling to remember what you've done over the past year.
--Instead, ask for a raise after you've successfully completed a major project, while those positive feelings are still fresh in your boss' mind.

#4.) HAVE A PLAN "B". If your company can't afford to pay you more, try asking for better benefits or more time off instead.

HOW TO SPLIT THE BILLS WITHOUT SPLITTING UP

Money is a common cause of arguments among couples that live together . . . Here are a few tips on sharing costs with your significant other without going crazy.

#1.) IF YOU CAN'T CHIP IN EQUALLY FOR THE RENT, DO SOMETHING ELSE. If you're not paying exactly half of the rent, try to take up simple household chores like laundry and grocery shopping to make up for it.

#2.) PAY FRIVOLOUS EXPENSES OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET. If she's not going to drink half the 12-pack or he's not going to use the fancy $10 shampoo, don't buy it with the groceries that you two split the cost on.

#3.) EXPERIMENT. If you two are both certain that your brand of choice is cheaper or better, try both and decide together.

#4.) PLAN AHEAD. If you talk ahead of time about how expenses will be split, it will clear things up immediately and open the door for future conversations about money. - (Tango)

ONLINE DATING

***ONLINE DATING DON'TS***

Whether you're new to the concept of online dating or a pro, here are four ways to avoid common mistakes . . .

#1.) DON'T ASSUME PHOTOS ARE RECENT OR ACCURATE. Less attractive people have a way of making themselves look less unflattering on online dating sites. If your date's picture looks too good to be true, don't be afraid to ask for a more recent shot.

#2.) DON'T GET TAKEN IN BY CHEESY LINES. Any guy can say he's quote, "looking to spoil a woman," but that doesn't mean it's true. In fact, it means he's a cheese-ball.

#3.) DON'T GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION. Just because you're a perfectly sane person looking for a date on the internet doesn't mean everyone else is . . . Never give out your last name or any information about where you live and work!!!

#4.) DON'T BE A FLIRT. You wouldn't flirt with ten different guys at the same time in real life . . . trying to do it online is just as lame. (About)

- Bottom line, just be safe!!

BAD BOSS

***DEALING WITH A BAD BOSS***

Hey it's Nazzy,

Not everyone can be as lucky as me & have a great boss.. If your one of those people who are tired of your boss blaming YOU for everything THEY do wrong? Here are four diplomatic ways to deal with a toxic boss.

#1.) TALK IT OUT. Instead of silently resenting your boss, discuss any problems that come up with them. The sooner you do it, the easier it'll be to avoid future conflicts.

#2.) PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE. Save all your sent e-mails. That way, your boss can't say they didn't get an important message from you.

#3.) TALK TO HR. If things get REALLY bad, arguing with your boss will just make things worse. Take your conflict to the Human Resources Department. They can transfer you to a different department, or even discipline your boss. (Just be careful with this. It might make your boss ever more upset with your for going over their head)

#4.) KNOW WHEN TO GO. If all else fails, be prepared to leave . . . And have some job interviews lined up before you start packing. (I hear JYY is looking for new Sales Reps!)

WEIRD AL!

THE KING OF POP PARADY MAKES HIS RETURN TO NEW HAMPSHIRE!!

What a performer! That says it all about Weird Al.. I have been a fan of his for as long as I can remember. His show at Meadowbrook was the best I have seen… (Not to mention Meadowbrook was the BEST place to see him)

Al went for about 2 hour’s non-stop. He played all his classics; including “Eat It” & “Fat” and the new ones that everyone loves; “White & Nerdy” & “Canadian Idiot”. At one point he even came down into the crowd and sang to a few lucky people.

The best part of the whole experience for me was finally meeting my boyhood hero at the end of the show.. (Just look at the expression on my face)…

Can’t wait until next year! --- Nazzy

GUMMY IS GOOD!

GUMMY BEARS ARE GOOD FOR YOUR TEETH:

According to a new study from the University of Washington, it turns out eating Gummy Bear candies might actually be good for your health. Why? --Gummy Bears are made with a natural sweetener called XYLITOL. Xylitol has been shown to kill a certain bacteria called streptococcus mutans. And streptococcus mutans causes tooth decay. --In other words . . . Gummy Bears prevent tooth decay. (--It's cool, right? But don't go too crazy with the Gummy Bears. According to the study, eating four Gummy Bears three times a day for six weeks will lower your chance of tooth decay . . . but they're still candy, so don't eat a box a day or anything.)
