In order to get a raise other than the 2 to 3&1/2 % that they give, I have to get another real job offer and turn in my notice, then wait for the co#1 to make a counter offer. Kind of assinine, but it is the way it is done at this company otherwise 2 to 3&1/2 is all you ever get. I like my job but it is kind of stressfull and I am being heavily courted by firm #2 at a little over 10g more than I make at my current job. I like the current job and of course they don't require piss tests. I am not really going to leave unless they don't match co#2's offer, which they have in every other instance. They rely heavily on my abilities, (frequent calls and odd hour visits in to get things back on line .) I see other managers in nearby industry making salaries more consistient with company #2's offer. I will have been 27 days w/o at the time of the interview, currently about 22 days and can barely see beggining of a line on the test strips. I do 1 with just water and one with piss and compare them. These test strips expired 6/07 but seem to be working fine as the ghost of a line is getting darker as days go by. I had a prescription for lasix, that I no longer use, makes me piss like crazy, I'm wondering if maybe I should take a couple B vitamains and a couple lasix an hour before the interview. I have done this before and the piss color is spot on. Question is 1. should I do this or just go cowboy? 2. if these strips which appear to be ok were kept cool are they accurate? any intelligent responses appreciated.
