a good afternoon!

Got my annual review today: lots of very gratifying compliments and a very nice bump in pay. I'm planning on celebrating (1) buying a new kettle on the way home, (2) cleaning like a beazle tonight so I'm ready for guests on Saturday, and (3) taking my sweetheart out for a very nice dinner tomorrow. :-)

I've had a number of jobs where I didn't get recognized for what I did or got treated badly by supervisors who (I think I can honestly say at this remove) felt threatened by my competence. I've had jobs where I felt my work was appreciated and my contributions were recognized. It's nice to have the latter rather than the former.

Congratulations!

And you are completely right, you have had a string of employers from hell.

Congratulations!! This is a Very Good Thing, in my opinion.

In the cosmic scheme of things, it is well night iem for such good news. I'ts rather beside the point that you "deserve it," since, equally, you didn't "deserve" previous bad luck. But it is nice to think that there are soem employers who do in fact consider a review an opportunity to reward and thereby further encourage quality employees :-)
