Shock of all Shocks....

G'afternoon Kids & Porn Stars.... TGIF! Shock of all shocks happened today. I woke up - as usual - pissed off. Yelled at my cat. Yelled at my dogs. Showered. Got dressed (casual Fridays rock!). Headed out to work. My girl Rosa collected me from my desk for a breakfast run. I started working. Today is pay day and since I work overtime every week, my paycheck is different every week. I was also out of the office for a few days (Florida) and "sick" the day after Easter. So I wanted to make sure they allocated my vacation/sick time correctly. So when the Office Manager came around with my paycheck stub, I immediately opened it to take a look. If any status changes, they usually note it on the right hand side. I noticed something was written so I checked it out. My hourly rate was INCREASED. That's right Kids, Bethany got a raise!?! Now, you ask why I am so shocked? Well, 1) my company is sssooo cheap. 2) I was given a raise to stay when I threatened to quit last year. At that time, the specifically told me NOT to expect a raise this year. 3) My company is sssooo cheap. 4) No one told me I was getting a raise. i.e. I never had a formal review. 5) My company is sssoooo cheap. OK, so I only got a little over 3% and it only amounts to about $1,200 a year. But, considering they gave me $4K not too long ago, $5,200 rocks my face off! Especially since I get overtime almost every week. Today is a good day!!! :)
