I was so blessed yesterday beyond belief!! It was performance review/raise time and with the sale of our division no one was expecting anything this year. Low and behold, I got a huge raise and an annual bonus...well let's just say in the humungous range!! Oh but that was not all, about 1/2 hour after I received that news I got called up to the boss's office and was presented with a letter offering me a retention bonus if I stay on until the end of the business transition is completed, estimated at 15 months, surprised to say the least when I turned the page and found the amount on the page, let's just say I almost choked...well into the humungous x 10 range! Holy Crap Batman!!! I took the letter to my office to read the terms of the agreement, promptly signed on the bottom line and turned it in, came back to my office, shut the door and broke into tears of the most unbelievable joy, had a little chat with God, collected myself and then opened the door. The worst part is not being able to share my joy with any of my office buddies since many of them are not receiving the same goodness. I am still on cloud 9 this morning.
Maybe now that I can stop the internal stressing out over this that I have been feeling for the past 3 months together with my food changes, dad's on the road to recovery and spring coming, the scale will start to be kinder to me.
Have a blessed day everyone!!

I was so happy to ready everything in your Journal today, Babs. The fact it comes from a fellow CT resident makes it even better. Hopefully this marks one of the first karmic steps in the road to a lot more recovery, not only with your Dad, or health journey, or employment, but more generally in terms everyone's issues. Is'nt it funny how you can almost feel your body cease secretion of cortisol!?!?! Have a great day, Babs. Take Care.

Oh Babs this is great news! It is really to bad that you cannot share the joy with your co-workers but I think all of us here on FS are more than happy to share this great news and be VERY happy for you.

Good things come to good people Babs. I think you are on the list. I told you I got a warm fuzzy from you. I guess the sun did shine for you after all. Take care Jude

@ceceps, I was so happy to share this news with my buddies here. I couldn't wait to journal about it. I am anxious to see if by reducing my stress level over this it helps to resolve this very long stretch of less than successful weight loss. Not that the pounds are most important, but just to see if there will be a correlation.

Fantastic news Babs... You have earned every penny of it! I know when I had a 4% increase in November it was very nice and felt fulfilled with the hard work I do.
I did not spread my news because really some people are jealous there that I have been employee of month three times and have gotten three raises in the three years I have been there..... SHHHHH keep it shut LOL

Thanks Nelson, things are pretty dicey around the office, everybody still on egg shells, may see some layoffs of non-essential folks over the next few months. Even more reason for me to keep it shut! :)
