Not that this will make your day...

but it made mine. I got a promotion Friday. Not only did I get elevated to a higher job category but my new sales manager felt I was underrated in my current category. So I got bumped up a category and raised within my new pay band and I got what was in my manager's words "a big fat raise." Really. I have a feeling she wanted to say "a big fat fucking raise" because that's what it was but we don't talk like that at work (most times). I had no idea this was possible anymore in this day and age.

For the first time since I graduated, I don't think I'm being underpaid for what I do or that I'm doing work that anyone could do.

It might be time revisit my "co-parenting with lesbians" plans. I'm not going to be rolling in money or anything but I could afford to support a child or two. Better than to piss it away on a car or something.
