Payrise and sillyness
So, on Friday I got my pay review. I am a very happy little bunny. This is the first payrise I've ever had based on my work, rather than everyone in the company getting 3%. Getting 6.7% (1k) was a very nice surprise! I had though that as the business is paying for me to go back to uni and get my HR qualification next September, that that would cancel out most of my rise, but apparently that is on top.
My Director (bosses boss) who gave me the rise said he still doesn't think I'm paid enough, but that his boss wanted to keep a level on Admin wages. My D's solution to this is to start getting me some more responsibilities, with hopefully a job title change in the summer (alongside another possible rise...). I have really fallen on my feet with these people!
This has got me thinking though. Although I get on very well with T (my landlady) I still feel as if I'm living in someone else's house. For example, even my mother wouldn't outright tell me not to use a toiletry again because she didn't like the smell! When you add this to the fact that the light evenings are bringing the chavlettes out - I want to be back in St Paul's!! Well, maybe not, but I am thinking of moving closer to town. Luckily, this is the first time for ages when I can consider a move before I make it, rather than jumping at the first suitable place.
The silliness is that I resubscribed to Warcrack. This has nothing at all to do with the fact that one of the new races has horns and a tail and can be purple *at all*, honest. The silliness of submitting is however compounded by the fact that I resubscribed today - I go home on Wed for a week and a half, so I'll lose 10 days of my 30! I really need to curb my impetuousness sometimes!
