Great news!

I got some really awesome news last week. I'm not really sure why I didn't share right after I received the great news. I guess I just wanted to wait until I actually saw the results.

I GOT A RAISE!! And it wasn't just your normal little 2% raise or something like that. I got a huge raise. Back in April, I think, the other person that had the same job as me quit. When they listed the opening, I guess a few people went to the HR department and said that they thought the pay was too low for what the job entails. I was asked to make a list of all of the responsibilities that my job has. They reviewed the material and did searches to see what others who have the same responsibilities get paid, and I ended up with a raise of over $3.00 an hour. After taxes and all of that stuff, I end up taking home an extra $200.00 every two weeks. You can't beat that with a stick. I got my first paycheck with the new raise amount today.

I also got a pretty good review, so that was great too.

Congrats on the raise, Jodi!! It's a great feeling to be told you're doing a great job, and to actually be rewarded for it. I wish we could have seen you guys in May. December will have to do...
