A good week.
On Sunday, I got my semi-annual performance review at TJ's, the third since I've been with the company. Lately, I'd been unsure of where I stood in the company, but that's mostly my insecurity talking. I actually did quite well, better than my previous two, in fact, and none of them have been bad. The best part was that I got a 6% raise, which is pretty remarkable in this economy.
On Wednesday I had my third Guitar lesson. It had been two weeks since my previous one, since I canceled last week due to ice. I had not practiced as much as I should have. Despite this, my instructor was pleased with my progress in learning chords. At one point I played a chord for him that I stumbled upon when just playing around, one that was not in my notes. I told him that it sounded familiar to me, yet rare and that it reminded me of a couple of artists. He told me that I had a good ear, and that not many people at my level would have been able to pick that out.
Last night, Arcturus calculated our taxes, and we saw that with our refund, we would be able to pay off the last of the credit card debt that has the huge interest rate. For those of you that don't know, this was for house construction overages and were done at a deal of no interest for a year. It took us a little longer than we expected to pay it off, but now we should pay it off sooner than we were expecting just a few days ago. We still have accumulated credit card debt on another card however, but that shouldn't take too much longer to pay off. Arcturus's even thinking of getting the present for herself that she's wanted for a while, but we haven't been able to afford: a clan Mackay kilt for me to wear.
It's been a good week.
