Good News At Work!

Okay, I'll warn you right off the bat that this is going to be bragging. Sorry in advance.

My boss called me into his office today and told me that I got a promotion. I'm not supposed to be able to get a promotion yet because I have only been there two years. The minimum is supposed to be three to five years before consideration. However, my boss told me that the folks from him on up through the ranks thought that I was performing well enough to get an early promotion. Awesome!

Now, if that wasn't cool enough I've also been given one heck of a raise. A couple weeks ago we got our annual raises and I think I got the highest in the group. The average was just under 3% and I got 4.07%. We've got a bunch of older guys so they've been around long enough to have big salaries built up. That means there's a little more in the pot for us lowly young workers.

The great thing is that I also got a raise with my promotion. My boss figured I'd get around 4% but they ended up giving me 7.06%. That's a total of 11%! Wow!

Okay, so there's my bragging. To pay for my pride it looks like I'll be working pretty darn late tonight. Oh well.
