I woke up around 1:40am. I'd missed a text from Michael at 1am asking if I was up so I asked him what was up, but he said he was hanging with a friend; he didn't say which one; and said he hoped that was ok. I remembered how ill he'd felt when he left last night; told him I was glad he was feeling better and that I love him, and that I hope he and his friend have fun.

I had a dream that Mark got a raise. Only he was 82 years old! lol. He could finally afford new teeth. lol. It's sad really because Mark asked for a long overdue raise last year, in August I believe. His boss told him that he would give Mark this raise in 2 months time, in October. Now another cost of living raise is past due, and Mark still hasn't gotten his first raise - and it's been SEVEN MONTHS. Mark was having money troubles back in August, but he's pretty much broke now... And it's not because they don't have money to give him these raises; they've given at least 2 other employees raises; one of them recently, which Mark's boss Ted told him about to his face - how cruel is that? I honestly think that the raise for Mark has just slipped his mind, or that he feels that since Mark hasn't followedup on it that he doesn't need it that badly or something. But he's wrong. Mark just trusted his boss to do the right thing...and he hasn't. Mark has been with the company since very nearly the beginning; back when they were working out of Ted's basement - and now people that have less seniority and who have contributed less and have less responsibility are getting raises while Mark's is at least a year overdue and Mark is broke. It's not right.
