Ok. Just got off the phone with my boss. First both he and his boss wanted to see if I was looking to leave the group. I guess getting a Project Management degree threw them. Our project managers actually get paid a bit less than project controls folks. I explained that I wanted the broader view and understanding of Project Management so I can supplement my current skill set and advance within our group.
Anyway, they both support a raise and grade change. Now that they understand my intentions better, they will start the process. And approve my tuition reimbursement request. So - it is happeneing, not sure when or how much...but progress. WOOT!!! Good news on a Friday.
Bonus - K-Bug and I are going to see Beauty and the Beast on stage tonight. I've never seen the stage version before.
Seconding the Oy! Except for SuziQ, for which I say Woo!
Watching the Ali funeral stuff on delay basis. Some nice speeches.
Timelies all!
Great news, Suzi!
Our medieval dance group is playing the Maryland Faerie Festival tomorrow. We have an hour-long set at 1, and a shorter set at 4:30. It's supposed to get up in the 90s tomorrow. Oy...
Stay hydrated, Sheryl.
Thanks folks. I really appreciate the support and encouraging words. Advocating for myself was rough but once I got the ball rolling, it has been easier with each discussion. I definitely borrowed courage from y'all even if you didn't know it at the time.
Oh no, I'm afraid I'm allergic to my new front yard. This morning, I was super sneezy and snuffly in the living room (with open window), but I thought it was probably dust and a sign I should clean. Then I went out to trim the remaining bushes, and it was a disaster of blowing my nose on my t-shirt, so I thought it was in the air. Then I went about the rest of my day and was fine. Now I'm back in the living room again and sneezy and snuffly again. Oy.
That's awesome Suzi!
I'm waiting on my Mac to finish something before I can leave work. It's going slower than usual which I suspect may be because it's getting too hot.
The Lieutenant Governor of Texas just robo-called our tech support line. I didn't listen to his spiel, but maybe I should have. This is better than the daily calls from the fax machine, where you could just hang up and go down to the bottom of the queue.
