Got a promotion at work, so far I have gone from a part time, to a full time Machine Operator and Action Host (radio call sign 'Kilo'), I am about to go through 'Dual Rate' training, which means that I will occasionally be a shift supervisor (radio call sign 'Hotel').. what the customer considers a manager, but our actual managers are the Shift Managers (radio call sign 'Sierra').
Confused?
OK, I get to wear a suit, and when the suit is on, I get paid more.. otherwise my job is just the same until one day I become a full time supervisor.
Also there is a sort of promotion on the cards for my blogging job. With a commitment to 8 articles per month, they will pay a flat rate of US$80, plus the usual $2 per thousand hits per article.
I am working feverishly to see if I can churn out that many quality posts per month.. I think I can, and really, it will help my writing a lot if I do.
It was floated as an offer under consideration for some writers (and since it was emailed to me, and because I am one of the regular writers, I think I am one of the writers they are talking about) and I have emailed back that I am keen on the idea.
We shall see.
So far, this is a great year!
Considering last year I lost my job, got stuck on the dole, made do with shitty temp work, got shafted and had to sell off half my stuff just to get by... yeah, this is a GREAT year so far.
