Good News (and bad news)

[shipperx]

Today was 90% good and 10% bad.

First, the good. It is almost the second anniversary of my walking out of my last firm. I can't believe how time has flown. Anyway, it was time for yearly reviews at the 'new' firm, and it turned out to be incredibly pleasant. New Boss (who, I suppose isn't so new anymore since it's now been two years) was all kinds of flattering, saying that I was a "powerhouse" and that if he could grade me from one to one hundred that I'd score one hundred. Then he gave me a raise. Now that is a good day at work!

It just proves yet again (as if I needed it) how utterly and completely right I was to decide, after 12 years, to leave my ex-firm and seek a new one. It's like night and day between them. So nice to be treated well by nice people. *hugs new bosses*

The 10% bad news? While eating a Jolly Rancher, I broke a molar. Looks like there's a trip to the dentist in my very near future.

Silly girl. You're not supposed to chew them! Congrats on the good 90%, though.

Ow on the tooth, but yay for the raise! :)

Congratulations on getting a raise just in time to blow it all on dental work! Isn't it nice that fate has a sense of humor?

Thanks for the congrats. And the last time I broke a tooth several years ago, it was on a Willy Wonka Gobstopper. My dentist said then that much of his business came from tootsie rolls and jaw breakers. Just... sometimes I chew Jolly Ranchers. I just can't help it.

Thanks... and yeah.

Thanks. Luckily no pain has been involved... yet.

Hee! So very true. Last time I had a cap done it cost a small fortune and this looks like it will be the same situation. Oh well.
