huff huff deep breath - not sure if I want to see my e-mail

 

I e-mailed my old boss (who is a bit of a buddy) and asked him whom I should talk to about moving up in the corporate world at work.  It took a lot of guts to press that 'send' button and I'm a bit nervous about seeing his reply.

I'm not sure why. I mean, he continually sang my praises when he worked here - and I continue to do small piecemeal work for him now and then for which he pays me a lot. So I know he likes me.

But there's something about the asking for more help that drives me a bit nuts. Will the girl I just asked to dance accept my offer? Will she laugh at me while I dance? Will I regret this?

hmm...perhaps this is a terrible analogy - since I've never been very good at asking women to dance, going on 'dates' or other such inorganic ways of starting a relationship.

Dunno. Just know that I want a job making 60G and sitting on my hands and whining about it doesn't seem to have worked.

BetterMe BetterMe:

the countdown

Paul, I am in the same boat.  In fact I have gone so far as to request a meeting with my boss at the end of the month in regards to my salary.  But that was the easy part.  Now I have 11 days to create my pitch on what I am worth and why.  Asking help from a friend in a higher position sounds like a great but understandably dificult idea.  Good luck in your ambitions.
