Scream meme?
( an excuse to talk about academons! )
SO! I found out about my raise today! If I did my math right, which is not a guarantee but I did check with an online percentage calculator and we agreed, then I got a 14% raise! It is SEXY and exciting and I'll be taking home a hefty chunk more each month - maybe $100 more with each (biweekly) paycheck? I'm not quite sure when it went into effect. And I will be raking in the overtime pay too! Also, I got a nice little letter saying it was a "merit increase" and only given to people who deserve it. ;)
Also former!roommate!Corey bought me birthday pie. :D And we ate borscht! Which is her nickname! But neither of us had ever had it. It was okay, actually, especially when you consider how much I hate beets! And it was completely different from what either of us were expecting. A fascinating experience.
OH! My friend Alison at work got me the most awesomest birthday presents! A desktop dartboard! So I can continue to perfect my darts skills! I've wanted one for a long time. And it's really nice! :D AND she got me a little, well, this exact magnetic sculpture thing - you can arrange the little stars and moons however you like and it's incredibly fun. They're fantastic presents, I'm very impressed with her gift-buying skills!
And Katie got me all sorts of awesome I don't know what in Berlin that she will give me on Saturday, so basically, fabulous week-long birthday!
Also I've been watching Shep Smith videos on youtube a bit. ::coos::
