I went to work this morning think that is was going to be a fairly slower day, but was ready for it after the last couple of weeks. Then around 10:30 this morning the managing partner shoots me an email saying that he wants to chat. Anyways, I'm think what the heck could this be about. I then remember a memo about cut backs at the firm and first think that goes through my mind is I'm getting laid off.

After a little time I let that go since our office is kicking but and growing faster than we can hire people. Then 4:00 rolls around and I I go to his office, take a seat and he tells me that I'm the only Mid-year promotion this year. There normally aren't too many, but this year there was only one and it was me :applause: . My managers really push for me during the mid-year evaluations and it paid off. I'm pretty stoked right now and having a hard time getting back to work.

We have a bottle of champange in the fidge and I think we will open it this evening with dinner. Now I need to decide what I'm going to smoke.

Anyways, I just wanted to share. :smokingbo

Is it a title promotion or a pay promotion?
Both, I went from a Staff II to a Senior (Manager is the next and will probably take me 2-3 years). But I got a 7.5% raise which is great b/c it is a mid-year raise and I'll get another one at the end of the year.
