good news!
I love my (relatively new) manager at work. She told me on Thursday morning that I was getting a raise. Not a huge one, but every little bit helps. And it was effective as of this last Monday (the first day of the new pay period)! We also get COLA raises at the end of the year, so my COLA raise will be a bit higher, since it will be based on my new pay rate.
And why is it that I can't sleep in when I turn my alarm off and don't need to be up at any specific time, but during the week when I have to go to work, I hit my snooze button at least 4 - 5 times and sometimes oversleep (not enough to be late to work, just enough to be annoying)? I went to bed late last night, and woke up at 5 am this morning and could *not* go back to sleep. I *hate* mornings.
ETA: At about 7:30 am I was tired again and ended up getting a couple more hours sleep. I still hate mornings.
