☹ No promotion?! But I DESERVE it! That extra eight grand a year would be nice too! I’d say your Magic Ball isn’t so magic for me. However, my DAUGHTER’S Magic 8 Ball says “It is decidedly so”. Good thing I don’t believe in that stuff, otherwise which one would I believe?😕 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-magic-8-ball/208110.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-magic-8-ball/208110.md?page=3)
