I got a significant raise today. A small portion of it is salary adjustment, but mostly merit. It's actually a shocking chunk of change. Even with getting a great review, I wasn't expecting that much. Which goes to show how much CSC was screwing me over. Jumping to the main contract a couple years ago got me a 20% bump & then they gave me a bonus & then a decent merit raise last year. But this...man. Budget might get lean in coming years, but this gives a lot of room.
And smacks my imposter syndrome upside the head.
Hide the extra money in a savings account where the imposter will never see it.
I googled "wolf jillifont" [except, y'know, not "jillifont"], and I don't think that's what it was. But Jesus Christ it was big
Sooo you may want to try googling "gigantic jillifont PNW" (or something similar), and see if the photos look like what you saw. I have no idea if they can be found in your part of the country (and there's no way in hell
I'M
googling that), but that's - no joke - the name of a type of jillifont that exists, and that like to live in houses. Like, our basement.
I'm upping my retirement savings.
