The Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson could be praying now for good luck while playing in the upcoming new NFL season, because he may have run out of his luck after escaping from a fire, which destroyed a whole building but did not hurt any part of Woodson.
According to latest reports, Woodson was attending a party with his business partner Rick Ruiz and 11 other people wearing Brett Favre jerseys at a multi-million dollar home in tony Bay Harbor when a fire broke out. Fortunately everyone managed to escape before the house was swallowed by the fire and no one got hurt, but the building was completely destroyed.
By so far, there has been no confirmation of Woodson’s attendance at the party, but he was indeed on the list of invitees. The party was reported to celebrate a large gift to the University of Michigan Women’s Hospital, and Woodson just donated $2 million to the hospital last year. So he must be there. Whatever, since he did not get any injury, he would be fine for the regular-season games. So nothing to worry about.

Ask for a salary raise now
If what economists are saying is true, the economy is actually beginning to rebound, and employees should get prepared for a salary rebound, too. However, even though companies do have plans to increase salaries, they are still picky at who is qualified to get more money than others.
Joe Thomas is working as a sales representative for a sportswear company. As a faithful Brett Favre fan and selling Brett Favre jerseys everyday to many people, he himself has had no spare money to afford his favorite player uniforms for a long time. He heard that the company was planning to raise some employees’ salaries, but no one knew who would be the lucky dog. In order to get the chance, Thomas made some more efforts than others and at last he made it to get a 30% salary increase.
What Thomas did sound normal: talking with his boss and working harder. But there were a few differences from normal efforts. First of all, he did not hesitate in starting a conversation. Then, while talking about his demand of salary increase, Thomas did not complaint about unfair treatment he received in the past, instead, he showed the boss what he already did and were going to do to help the company earn more money. Third, he told the boss that he was willing to work whenever he needs him. A fourth thing Thomas did during the observation period was to make new friends all through the company and always offered helps to them. All these together gave Thomas’ boss a great impression and gladly raised this pleasant guy’s salary.
