Hi All! - I've been MIA for a while due to an overwhelming project (office remodel and move/integration of 65 additional people), but it's winding down now (thank God). Maybe my life can start getting back to normal.
Something really cool happened yesterday that I just have to share (can't share with co-workers - talking about salary, raises, bonuses, etc. is strictly taboo around here). -
Yesterday both bossies took me to lunch and presented me with a bonus for project completion AND an 8% raise! Bonus was $1800 after taxes! Picture me flabbergasted
. I've posted before about what great guys both my managers are. They were so cute - like two little boys who just couldn't wait for me to open that envelope. We barely sat down at the table before Controller Bossie gave it to me. VP Bossie just sat there grinning (this bossie also gave me $200 for Christmas and brought me flowers and balloons on my birthday in January).
There was one fly in the ointment - they had to report they were unable to get my promotion to Office Manager approved yet but said they hadn't given up on it either. I guess the bonus and the nice raise will have to hold me for a while longer
.
I actually left the office yesterday at 5 PM and got home earlier than usual - I had called DH with the news and he was planning to beat me home, chill the wine, run a bubble bath, etc. He did make a sign that said "You da Woman!!"
