I thought I'd get more humor out of that than the "cutie" one, but, hey, that's great news! Now, I can go buy a new pair of shoes!

Um, you just got a raise. But somehow I'm guessing you don't know this yet. Surprise! Maybe your horoscope is telling you you've got persuasive people (ahem, cough, cough) working on your side these days . . . or (more likely) that asking the question means you finally get important info and a little peace of mind. But I'd be careful about telling your boss you have alter egos that compete for attention. . . . You know, Kaitlin, it’s a bit ironic this conversation has come up. Um, you just got a raise.
