Even though I've only been here six months (just about) I got a 5% merit raise! Fuck yes!
I love my job. It is different from my last one, it gives me a lot of the work I like to do, and the ability to hand off stuff I don't like to the other attorney, who started the same time as I did (literally two weeks before) and is also really nice. My boss seems to take me under her wing a bit and mentor me which is so great and something I was absolutely lacking in my previous place. People are starting to come to me with issues on a proactive basis, so I'm not just putting out fires. Boo yah!
I just about cried when I heard. I'm the breadwinner in this home, and while I hope my husband achieves all his dreams for his career, I am realistic about his health and the fact that I may always be the only income that ever enters the front door of our home. Hence, more income is always a relief!
