I’m doin’ okay

As I said yesterday … I had my 3 month review today at work. I was nervous because I wasn’t sure if I was performing how they expected me to. Well … I had no need to worry. They are VERY HAPPY with my work. The only issue they mentioned was my communication skills. Duh … I know I suck at that … LOL.

They were happy with the timeliness at which I complete tasks. They had nothing but good things to say. That makes me feel good. It makes me glad that I decided to change career paths. I guess I didn’t make a mistake doing that. The only thing I hate is that it means I wasted 4 years and over $10,000 on an education for a career that I left behind (or threw away).

One thing that suprised me was that they said that they saw the possibility of lead programmer or management in my future. Now … I don’t know about that. I don’t think that I’m management material. But the fact that they see my potential make me feel really good. This is definitely a company that I want to stay with for a long time. And we’ve been growing too. This is definitely a better employer than my last one. They sucked. Didn’t give a damn about me. This company is the complete opposite. It’s definitely better to actually enjoy going to work.

And to make it even better … I got a raise. Woohoo!! Every little bit helps. Maybe now I’ll a little extra spending cash after bills and groceries. Maybe I can even afford the health insurance premiums.

Well … I’m hungry … It’s almost 6pm. Time to make supper. I think I’m gonna make the Chicken Helper Chicken Dumplings. Don’t have any other meat ’til I get to the grocery store.

Mood: happy
