On Saturday my boss called me in, I had reminded him that my 90 day probation was coming up and I was wondering what they do for that. We sat down talked a bit, he told me that all the guys there seem to really like me and that he was impressed with the amount of work that I do. He did bring up a few small criticisms but its nothing that I cant change in a split second, really was just about prioritizing lol.

The raise itself was far more than I though I was gonna get, so it was a very pleasant surprise, needless to say, I am making a decent little jump over what I had previously been making at Seaside Computers as a computer tech so huzzah, its nice to have an employer that can see my strengths for what they are and appreciate hard work!


In a way it sweet bitter-sweet. This is the FIRST raise I have gotten in my life, yet I have worked for YEARS at various different jobs for WAY longer periods, many gave no review or anything even at the 1 year mark,hell my computer tech job FIRED me when I even asked if they did raises at all after nearly 2 years solid of working for them. But here at this job I get a raise after only 3 months and I get recognition for my efforts. Two things I have pretty much never had happen at any previous jobs despite putting in the same kinda effort so to a guy like me this is a very pleasant surprise.

But oh well, the past is the past, I am now back on the saddle and making a survivable wage again doing a job that in all honesty is pretty layed back once you get into the groove. ^.=.^
