有愛相伴的日子 20171120-23 周一到周四

周一晚上九點多，互道一聲晚安。

周二早上七點多， 他發來：There is a groupon for hot pot. Want to try?

    Sure. I have been working for three years here. Should I ask for a raise? Should I send an email to my

boss?

I my opinion these are face to face conversations, and just be up front, but not too aggressive. :)

    What should I say?

You win with good questions.

    Not confident with my English, don't know what to say

Just let then know you've been here 3 years and you like this place and feel like a part of the team. Then
 
ask is they are happy with you being here. If they say yes let them know that's great, you too. And tell them
 
you would like to see a bump in pay. They will ask how much. I'd ask for at least 6% for 2% per year cost
 
of living, and 2.5% per year going forward. See what they say.

    Okay I will try

I believe in you, you'll do great! Just be calm and friendly, and smile

    :-) Also I would like to ask if I could take some training to help more, capable to contribute more.

It never hurts. When you ask how happy they are, a follow up question can be if there are other things
 
you can do to contribute more

    Thanks baby

周三，我發過去：Raised 5%

Nice! We need to celebrate. 我倆說定了晚餐的地方。

然後他問：Still up for the game on Tuesday?

    I am available, what do you think?

I think I have two tickets to the game. Not sure what you mean by the question

    I think we are happy doing anything together, don't have to go for the game if you don't want to go, or
 
like to give tickets to someone more important

Hey, who is more important than you?

    ;-) That's sweet. I mean if you want to do something different with me on Tuesday, it would be nice as well

What did you have in mind?

    Nothing in mind, just a little guilty for not knowing much about the game. ;-) feel like I am wasting the

the ticket.

Don't be, you cheer as much as anyone when we score. Does anything else matter? Plus I think you

have fun?

    That's true, because I am with you baby

他以為我不想跟他去看球賽呢，還緊張了一下，晚上再次問我是什麽意思，我說就是不想浪費，如果你想

把票給同事或者重要客戶什麽的，我不會在意的。他說：“我想跟你一起去，誰我也不給。”

出門前，我穿上我們在泰國定做的駝色大衣，裏麵是一身黑，問他，是不是該帶條絲巾，他回答說，外麵

不冷，我笑了，這就是男女有別，雞同鴨講。

晚餐很愉快，順便聊了下裝修的事，他出了些主意，我覺得很好。說到廚房的台麵，他說他幫我貼瓷磚，

比花崗岩便宜，選合適的話效果也會不錯。

洗衣機出問題了，沒洗完就停。

照例睡前。。。

周四下午，他發：Rained today, be careful driving

    I will. You too baby

下了班，他提了一堆工具過來，修洗衣機。

上個周末床上運動多了些，這周有點腰痛。。。隻是照顧他一下。。。

怕忘了他的西裝，晚上專門掛在洗手間門上，今早還是忘了，又回來拿，我給他送到樓下。

Thanks again for this morning. Saved me!

    :-)

Hope your back feels better baby. Missed not giving you kisses.

    You make me miss you already. ;-)
