[Return to the fun]

I wrote this site in a couple of evenings one weekend (after talking about contracts with my client). It roughly mimics an old email attachment 'meme' in the olden days of the Internet (which my boss at the time sent me, around review time as I recall!). I'm sure there are some rough edges, but I hope you enjoy it.

Just in case it's not obvious, the whole thing is just a joke. We don't really email or tell your boss you don't want a pay rise. In fact, by the looks of you, you probably deserve one.

If you really do want a pay rise then clicking a button on a website probably isn't the most effective way to get one, although far be it from me to advise you on what's good and what's not. There are thankfully lots of articles from various news sources, job boards, recruiters and ordinary people that explain how to broach the subject with your boss though. Some Internet searching with doubtless turn up more than any one human could ever read in their lifetime.

Technical Information

My webdev skillz aren't all that sharp, but this site is bit of hand-crafted HTML (really, not much!), some hand-made CSS and a bit of Javascript which was cobbled together from a few bits and pieces on the Internet and a bit of original code to glue it all together.

If you'd prefer me to do devops/sysadmin work, for which I'm considerably more gifted, then come see me on Linkedin.
