有爱相伴的日子 20171120-23 周一到周四

周一晚上九点多，互道一声晚安。

周二早上七点多， 他发来：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，我发过去：Raised 5%

Nice! We need to celebrate. 我俩说定了晚餐的地方。

然后他问：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

他以为我不想跟他去看球赛呢，还紧张了一下，晚上再次问我是什么意思，我说就是不想浪费，如果你想

把票给同事或者重要客户什么的，我不会在意的。他说：“我想跟你一起去，谁我也不给。”

出门前，我穿上我们在泰国定做的驼色大衣，里面是一身黑，问他，是不是该带条丝巾，他回答说，外面

不冷，我笑了，这就是男女有别，鸡同鸭讲。

晚餐很愉快，顺便聊了下装修的事，他出了些主意，我觉得很好。说到厨房的台面，他说他帮我贴瓷砖，

比花岗岩便宜，选合适的话效果也会不错。

洗衣机出问题了，没洗完就停。

照例睡前。。。

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

    I will. You too baby

下了班，他提了一堆工具过来，修洗衣机。

上个周末床上运动多了些，这周有点腰痛。。。只是照顾他一下。。。

怕忘了他的西装，晚上专门挂在洗手间门上，今早还是忘了，又回来拿，我给他送到楼下。

Thanks again for this morning. Saved me!

    :-)

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

    You make me miss you already. ;-)
