I haven't yet found a modern iron that gets hot enough to scorch a shirt, but some synthetics melt at high temperatures.* The shirt should be slightly damp Remove it from the dryer or the hanger before it's bone dry. And if you can't get to it right away, stick it in the freezer. It won't mildew, but it will stay damp.* If a shirt needs misting, don't rely on the reservoir built into the iron. Most need frequent refills, may clog up, and don't spray very effectively. I recommend using a separate spray bottle, preferably one filled with a fragrant water.Finally, you need an ironing plan.

"I have been your top producer over the past six months"; "I took over extra responsibilities and have handled them without a hitch"; - those are reasons.* If you can't find a reason, create one. Doing something that makes your boss look good creates an opportunity to broach the subject.* The best justification for a rise is having another job offer. Even if you like your job, you should periodically test your market value by exploring other opportunities.* Having chosen your moment, meet your boss to discuss your career.* When you meet with your boss, seek advice rather than asking directly. Either your boss will get you a rise or promotion, or you will be told what you need to do to get one, in which case you should keep your boss informed.* If you have another offer, tell your boss.
