Insomnia.

I've been having trouble sleeping for a few weeks now - him and me BOTH.

I don't know if it's due to the weather, subconscious stress or anxiety.

What I do know that our current futon should be thrown out the window, shredded and burned.

It's Olivier's, aged 3 years and since it's not of the bestEST quality, it's kinda HARD an uncomfortable.

In December we went to check out some futons and there was one that we really liked. It was - of course - the most expensive one :D Go figure.

We decided to wait for the sales because we have strong backs and what's a few more months of suffering compared to years of great sleep? (hopefully, would be shit to have paid 380€ for 45kgs of disappointment)

So Olivier paid for it last Monday via internet and today we're supposed to go get it. Well he's supposed to go get it with the work van and I'll just have to help him carry it in. Up two stairs (the lift is out of order, gee, who'd've guessed?) and onto our bed. 45kgs.

He thinks just by ourselves it's doable.................... I think I'll call some of his rugbyman-friends.

And I hope our bed'll support it's weight - and ours !

Putting that aside, I'm facing a dilemma. I spoke to a colleague I consider a good friend. She works mainly with our boss and knows a lot of things going on in our job. We were talking and she asked me how much I gained. When I announced my monthly pay, she immediately told me to ask for a raise. She told me that she knows stuff and that I should ask for at least 200€ more.

I answered that since I signed my CDI last July, it was a bit too early to be asking for a raise. She promptly disagreed and ordered me to go ask for the raise.

Since I work as a make up tattooist, it is clear that I bring in a bit more money than others, but I don't consider myself entitled to more money than some. In my eyes make up tattooing isn't as hard a work and for example Electrolysis. I love what I do. The girls that work in electrolysis don't especially adore what they do.

Sure, I have more responsability and pressure on my shoulders in what I do but still..

I don't know.

Olivier thinks I have the right to ask for it but he understands that it's not easy.

I was thinking of asking for a raise like next July.

Maybe I will, and I'll ask for 300€ :D

hihihi.

Oh how life would be easy then.................. not that it's difficult now.

For me it would just be really comfy.

Jejejjejeje.

I'd love to hear your opinions on it if you please. Throw me a bone here, I have no idea if anyone even reads me :D Thanks in advance for the one(s) who take(s) the time to comment.
