News about my raise!

I got an 8K raise. 19% raise. You do the math! Now I have to wait to December to get another review.

I have so much work to do. I might leave for work at 5AM tomorrow.

Taking a pilates class Saturday morning, then hitting IKEA to look at bookcases. I want to get one with a drawer. Dentist appt to fix 2 cavities on my left side of the mouth. Still have two cavities on the right side of my mouth that will be another visit. Sunday brunch at Goat Town with three other brunch'ers, then Mets-Phillies game! Maybe try to get a manicure after the game.

Need to get some pancetta and some other ingredients to make baked sausage ziti! I need to test my oven to see if it works. I wanna bake a maple pecan tart for the office as an appreciatory gift for my new found raise!

My raise!? in only 6 weeks working!

I'm going to try and post something each week. I am going to bake ziti sometime this week after I get pancetta from Zabar's. This is to test my oven to see if I can bake a maple pecan tart.

So Joel, the general manager at GMC Parking, who is the hiring manager and hired me told me at the start of the job that I will get a review in three months and six months. And the president told me over the phone that if I'm successful I will see a rapid rise in my salary. Joel told me before he went on vacation that when he gets back he'll ask Mr. Chapman about a raise and I don't have to wait three months. He didn't mention anything to me all day so I finally asked him at the end of the day. And he said he has to talk to the president and my boss. So I really hope I get a raise of 5-8K this time. I am not making that much money so I really need it. If I get two 2 8 K I will still not be making what I made in AIG. But the guy I replaced made 90K so I am hoping I get around 65K after a year or 18 months, that will be nice!

Blaise told me last week that I am doing well there and he foresees me doing a good job. That's a vote of confidence! So I am really hoping for a good raise this time around!

I hope it happens fast! the president is leaving for a vacation after Tuesday and my boss is away on Thursday and all of next week.
