The Never Ending Thread

It's really not about money, but I could qualify for a 5% increase. It's more about the fact that I do the exact same job as three other employees and have trained two of them, yet I am a pay grade lower. Our policy dictates positions with like duties must be classified the same, so I don't see how they can justify why I'm classified lower than the others. I'm an admin. asst. to a Captain for pete's sake, yet I am the lowest pay grade employee in our department.

That doesn't sound right at all. Good for you for sticking up for yourself. Those that are content to sit on the sidelines all their lives are destined for failure. Go get em Lady Brave, I know you can do it!

Major drama fan. I better be, since I'm the drama director at my church. I didn't get into it until about 10 years ago. I always considered myself a singer. I never thought of myself as an actor, but once I got the opportunity, it just came naturally. Of course I'm a ham anyway and I've always been good at mimicking people.

Same, I did a lot of plays in high school and college, and in different theaters around DC.

Looking back, I wish I had done that, but I didn't know I had the ability then. I've attended a few drama workshops and conferences over the years, but I still have a lot to learn. I'd like to do more improv stuff, but I find it somewhat intimidating.
