I got a 10% raise out of nowhere yesterday!
My boss asked me to submit my timecard early, which was very odd--she's never done that before, but I thought she might be going on vacation and didn't think much of it. And then I got an email from my old boss (now boss's boss) congratulating me on my new raise given based on my hard work, proven track record, etc.
I suspect that being a man with a baby also has something to do with it, since the assumption is that men with families need that money to support them. In my case though that's actually true since![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee is still too sick to work even if she wanted to, which she doesn't until Laila goes to school. So I'll gladly take that money and put it to good use.
We had a steak dinner yesterday to celebrate, but the truth is we already had the steak and I had planned to make it.
The raise just provided a retroactive excuse. It sure was delicious, though!
