December 13, 2000: Pay Raise at Work

It was a surprise today for me at work. Bev called each of us individually into her office to tell us about our pay raises.   The base pay in our department was $31,000.   So, now I made $34,500/yr.  Lilly wasn't too pleased with the raises, as she had passed her 2nd competency.    I told her my secret that I was planning to leave the department in the spring and move back to Michigan.    She was quite surprised.
