Today was my year end review with two of my bosses. (This is the expected part.) The unexpected part was that I received a promotion, a band increase, a title change and an Exceeds-Exceeds. The Exceeds/Exceeds is an increbibly hard thing to do. I knew I'd done a good job in 2009 but...to beat out everyone at my level, or to be in the top 2% is kind of mind blowing. My boss asked me how I think I did...I said meets/meets. She simply said, 'you know I disagree.' In the briefest of pauses my brain had already switched gears to recieve criticism and a 'do better' speech. Instead she threw the exceeds/exceeds at me and the rest as well. I had a pen in hand and was trying to write it all down...in shock I wasn't hearing a fraction of it. I had to ask her to repeat my title. Living paycheck to paycheck...I heard the money clearly enough. :)
I'm a top performer, I'm getting a raise effective 2/1/2010 and I'm now an AVP Consultant II Business Continuity. This is the second promotion and raise in a the span of a year. I've been in this company for just over a year and a half. (Unexpected).
I'm feeling that grace has been poured over me. I never pictured myself working where I do, or doing what I'm doing and yet, here I am. I think a lot of life is like that...it surprises you with where you end up, how you got there, and how it shapes you. The good and the bad.
(one of my own shots from 2009...I am truly tipping my hat to you J, our talk tonight meant a lot. Love you! Hope this one is as good as the others, but I'm ok if this is not... :>)

Yippee. I really am VERY happy for your good luck. You certainly deserve the promotion, and the raise. Time to have a party or buy yourself some really delicious books.
