[Prudence]

As the fiscal person, I know what everyone makes, and I know that I'm on the bottom of the pile. It kind of sucks, actually, that the receptionist makes considerably more than the "fiscal administrator." I'm have to account for tens of millions of dollars down to the penny, and I make considerably less than the person responsible for ordering the pens and copy paper and serving coffee to visitors.

Not that I'm bitter or anything. (4.5 months....)

ETA: it's been published on campus that we've been allotted 4.5% per person for merit increases this year. Except in our unit, where they decided that 2% is a "substantial" increase, and they're going to save the rest of our allotment to award the "truly deserving" - which means it's going to the Queen Bee's chief fluffer, who has already had three substantial (15%+ each time) increases in the past year. AND, I know that they plan to request 15K/year additional funds for my replacement.

Again, not that I'm bitter...
