Wow! Asking for a raise? Quite impressive. Not everyone has the guts to do that. I don't think that I ever have. You go girl!

As for worrying about people talking about you; that reminds me of a situation at work I've been wanting to vent about (I doubt your situation is like this). I hope you don't mind me doing it in your thread. There's a group of girls that all they do is talk about each other (and not kindly either). I get so-o-o sick of it. These girls will talk about ANYBODY. I'm like, can we please talk about something else??? And since I blurt out stuff like, "Well I like her, she's never been anything but nice to me," rather than going along with the crowd, I've focused their negatism on me. I've also started to hang out with the guys (less gossipy) in the department, which makes them dislike me even more. They are so jealous its ridiculous. But I just keep going to break with them like I always have, despite the glares of a couple of them, and eventually they move on to someone else. Its irritating, but I'm not going to let them force me out (there are a couple of people I genuinely like who aren't as mean spirited about their gossiping). I just try to remind myself how insecure you'd have to be to feel the need to constantly put other people down that way.

Sometimes I think maybe I should secretly record them and then play it for whoever was talked about. But I'm not quite that vindictive. I'd probably start trying to figure out where to hide the recorder and then lose interest when it became too difficult. But its a fun thought.

Sometimes people just blow me away. I guess that's why I'm becoming such a hermit. Fortunately, I occasionally meet that lone cool person that makes it worth talking to people at all. I wish my friend hadn't moved to San Fransico! :-(
