Im awesome at my job, apparently...

Post by NinjaRaf »

So awesome that my boss pushed for me to get WELL above the standard bonus that I would have gotten other wise, and I get a 7.33% raise starting next month. I have literally never received a merit raise in my entire life because I've worked at a university and a government agency that struggled with its budget every year. I'm pretty fucking stoked right now!!

haha thanks guys!! The only new gear I have incoming ATM is a bass guitar from my bass player, and that shits only 60 bucks. I really wanna get a Mark V, though...but that will NOT be any time soon. Right now, I need to save as much as I can for our wedding ceremony in October, and for moving shortly after that haha. So no new gear right now, sadly.
