Just don’t.
I know you’ve thought it through, but it’s not a good idea. Don’t ask me for a raise just because you think I’m in a good mood. Like most things around here, it’s actually the opposite of what you think.
If I’m in a good mood, there’s one sure fire way to ruin it.
Asking me for a raise is not the problem, it’s the timing that’s all wrong. Go ahead, ask me for a raise. You have every right to do that. I’ll probably say no, but don’t worry about it - you will probably get a raise someday.
I guaran-damn-well-tee you will not get a raise when I’m in a good mood, so don’t even try it.
If I’m in a good mood, just enjoy it. Don’t push it.

I have a mental image of the company you run. It closely resembles a late 19th century factory where gruel is served for lunch and seniority among workers is based on how many fingers one has lost. Breathing inside your factory is akin to dipping a cotton ball in New York City street sludge and cramming it down your esophagus. Most of your employees are uneducated boys aged 9 to 15, but you hire women as long as you can sexually abuse them in your office. Am I close?
@DBlock, if I hadn’t already made you my friend, I would make you my friend again.
You are very close. Very close to getting a job, that is. My offer still stands.
Depending on how many fingers you have left, I might be able to fit you into a management position.
oh don’t forget and poke your eye with your cigar!
