A Link, and An Update

Tired of looking for the perfect significant other? Go make 'em! Here's a link where you can design the face of your dreams.

It's been a long couple of weeks... I've been waiting on my job review and all that. Finally, I got a small raise (brought up that I wanted more and have been promised more in September) and have worked out a bonus week off in August, among other good things. Best of all, I heard about how much I rock.

Out of 12 performance review categories, I scored "exceptional" in 6, "good" in 4, with 2 being a split between "good" and "needs improvement" -- and one of those being because I use swear words in the office and kids might be around. I have a salty tongue, what can I say?

Emotionally, though, that's a load off. I really dig my boss and didn't want to upset the apple cart, but I wanted to make it clear that overtime and me don't mesh much, so going from hourly to salary was a bit scary of a commitment. In the end, I got EVERYTHING I went to the table to get, and found out that they're happier with me than I even expected. I'm thrilled. And now I can relax. Good thing there's beer in the fridgy.

Anyhow, aside from that, this weekend's to be a "me" weekend, so I'll be checking in with ya this weekend. I'm a token American with a long weekend this weekend, unlike everyone else around me. (Canada's was last weekend; I get two long weekends in a row 'cos I'm doing a solid for a colleague next weekend and only get 1 day off there. Ick!)

Have a wickid weekend, boys & girls.
