Whoops.
"People are really happy with the job you are doing here..."
My manager had summoned me from the midst of an IM conversation with dfrahlic. I was a little concerned when he shut the door behind me.
"You have caught the eye of several people..."
There was a sense of relief with the accompanying confusion as to just where in the hell this was going. They certainly could not promote me again, so soon.
"This came straight from [D.]..."
Out of the manilla folder came an out-of-cycle-raise. My mind was blown. Apparently, workers are such a rarity here that all it takes to catch the attention of the higher-ups is to actually make an effort.
So now my mother is back to nagging me about buying a new car. And I owe it all to the fellow with whom I rode the elevator in awkward silence.
