  • I got a raise today. Funny story about it, apparently, I accidently was given a raise back in March when I shouldn't have been given one. See, my yearly review is supposed to only come in November. However, for some reason, I was given a review and a raise back in March. Neither my boss nor the HR department can figure out why I was given a raise and review in March. My boss said that initially, I wasn't going to be given a raise this time because of the accidental raise in March. But, and I'm not making this up, because my review was so good and I'm a great employee, she and the manager of our department felt that the raise would be well deserved. WOOOOOOHOOOO!!! I kick ass!!!!

    I've been taking a class for work. Actually, its not much of a class, to be honest. They just give me a book and when I'm done, I take the test. If I pass the test, not only do I get the money back for the class, but I also get a $100 bonus. Tomorrow is the test for the class. I swear, I haven't changed much since high school. When studying for this exam, I found myself with the overwhelming urge to do anything but study. And I could not concentrate and it seemed like I'm not retaining any thing that I have learned. See, this is why I didn't go to college, I could never stay focused and have no interest in doing homework or studying outside of school. Although I failed the practice test, I didn't fail it by much. If I pass, I'm going to take more classes in the spring, maybe as many as 2. See, these are all industry related classes, so this potentially can be huge for me should I pass all the classes and get the diploma/certificate thing.

    For those of you in Illinois, is it just me or has this been the rainiest autum ever. I don't ever recall a fall when it has rained this much. It seems to never fucking end. This was a much bigger problem for me when one of my windshield wipers needed to be replaced, but even since getting it fixed, I'm still mighty sick of this rain. And, even more is expected. In fact, a lot more tomorrow. Shit, I hope Mark's basement doesn't flood, since he is out of town. I mean, it has rained so much, its like a second spring. Its just re-damn-diculous!
