I'm laughing a lot today - can't help it.

Got my 90 day probation review yesterday - as in, it's done. I'm perm now.

And got a 5K raise. And group insurance (with the richer plan, remember?) - all of it kicks in on the first.

But the corker was the review. When I signed on here, it was with the understanding I would prove my worth as a company asset (ie, make sure you're a fiscally sound investment, hear?).

First sentence - "Donna has provided value from day one."

Chuffed.

CHUFF CHUFF CHUFF HA!

Now, there are things I can say in the general direction of the old gig - keep in mind, I'm still terribly fond of them - but wishing some of them sex ain't it.

I got what I needed.

He got what he wanted - someone else.

And that's all that really needs to be said about it.

Makes a hell of a difference to be working where one is actually wanted.

In your line of work? Good question. I'll keep my ears open. (Seriously, you ought to see the design work for the corporate image - everything has the twee hummingbirds you see on the website - I will have the most GORGEOUS business cards you ever saw, hands down. This was a recent change, I understand - even the company Prius has a hummingbird wrap on it. Pretty, pretty, pretty - )

That is made of awesome. With all the crazy/bad job news out there, it's great to hear something like this. :)

It does happen - I've seen it before.

Christmas of '92 AND '93. "It's just not working out, dear."

On the street, at Christmas. *shakes fist*

Got new jobs. Every time.

Happens every day.

Now, that's not to say there wasn't time spent in temp gigs (had a GREAT time at Warner Brothers that one Christmas, no kidding. Six weeks, out the door - but they were the BEST six weeks....) - but you find new jobs. You always do. You always will - if you keep at it.
