Promoted to the bottom of the ocean or demoted to the top of the bog? Which is it?

I got a 'promotion'. I am now the CAD Lead for our branch. Simply put, I am the boss of all things CAD. I don't think I get manager pay, I don’t even think I get to go drink beer on retreats.

But it should be fun no doubt. Stir up the pot so to speak. Pick a fight here and a debate there to get results. Who knows, maybe I can become corporate CAD Lead. Maybe one day.

I am leaving this weekend (Friday) to pick up me new car. I will be arriving in Winnipeg and cuddling my hunny all night long then I pick up my car in the morning, do all the stuff I need to do, and then spend Sat with my hunny. Then Sunday, we drive home to Calgary. Bitty leaves first thing Monday morning... sigh, I wish she could have stayed longer.

I will post pictures of my car sometimes soon. It's going to be nice to have the freedom to go places. Is freedom worth 700 bucks a month?.... Apparently so.

I sure hope I get my salary review and maybe a raise this year. I worked pretty hard and excelled far in one year. Rookie of the Year, CAD Lead of Calgary, and best looking award... ok I made one of those up, you can decide which one. Anyway, I should be up for at least a 15% raise... I want a lot more but that’s because I am a greedy POS, and I need it damn it!

That’s all for now,
