Great news!
Well, you know how I decided to stand up for myself and ask for a raise a few months ago and nothing ever came of it? We were getting our "rate adjustments" this week, which my supervisor said is usually just about 3%. Everyone was getting called into my boss's office to see how much we were each getting. When it was my turn, I walked in and he said to me "You were really the star this year, you came through and did a lot for the company and I'm very glad we have you here" and I said "Thank you!" and he wasn't making eye contact, so I was pretty sure I wasn't getting the 10% I asked for, and I was ready to leave and find a new job if I didn't get it. He continued, "Everyone is amazed at how much you've learned and how far you've come since you started here. And sooo... let's see here... you're getting a 20% raise, and a $4000 bonus. Will that be okay with you?" and he winked at me, and oh my gosh it was embarassing how shocked and happy I was! I swear I was beaming for the rest of the day... actually to be honest I still haven't stopped! No more worries about rent or bills, and I can pay off my credit card!

Lindsey,
That's such great news! It's so good that you got what you worked so hard for, and that it was recognized. That's some raise and quite a bonus! You should be very proud of yourself. I know I'm proud of you!

 Thanks Judy! I am proud of myself, and I'm glad I stuck it out this long and didn't quit before Christmas when I didn't get the raise then!My boss said that nobody else got what I got. It took all of my power not to jump for joy lol
