A Hike of XK

I had my annual performance review this week. I thought my performance was not bad but I had a few issues with a number of dolts! That was mentioned during the evaluation and I made him sure that it would never happen again! An in fact it has not happened again. I have good relationship with almost everyone and shut them down one after another, if they bullshit, professionally and politely. One old bag was saying nonsense a few days ago. I just shut him down and walked away! I know people have needs and cost of living is high but imagine a loser at retirement age who works 3 days a week, say, to support himself and his family and then is asked to increase it to four. He accepts it but he claims that the employer has threatened him to lower his wage if he does not work the fourth day! Who in their right mind believes this shit?! And the loser's frustration over being an idiot in his youth and having to work at the age of 65+ leads to being a pain in the butt and a miserable, disgusting, repulsive creature!
Going back to the evaluation session, the fella pointed at my few slips(!) and I said I guarantee that it would never happen. Then he asked me how much I thought my raise would be! I wasn't expecting that and I did not know what to say. I said it would be up to him.  He said that he considered $X000 annually and he would notify the office to be paid starting the next pay-stub. It's not a bad raise but still after a year that I haven't been able to move closer to work and pay extraordinarily high for fuel and maintenance but that's not their fault!
