Taking a little break from reading at my desk. Not a book, I save stuff on disk to read on Word. Less space, and a quick Alt-Tab brings me back to work screens. But, this is one of those days where I'm reading, the phone rings, I deal with a caller. I get done with the call, and by the time I go back to where I left off while reading, the phone rings again. Gah, too slow.
Though, the boss called me in for the mid-year review. Yes, the mid-year review was on August 31st. We're used to it from my boss right now. But...I got good marks on everything. No real issues, nothing that'll bring me down for end-of-year. This means that I'll get another raise come January. I wonder if this will mean a promotion or something, considering seniority and the fact that I actually fucking work when I'm in the office.
But, the company as a whole is turning profits, and if I balance my cashflow right, I can get my X-mas shopping by the beginning of December, and with the bonuses we get from work, I will be able to get a new computer at the beginning of next year *makes roof-raising motions*.
Yes, I think this far in advance.
So, the mid-year went a LOT better than I expected, overall. I thought I was going to get raked over the coals, because I'm not perfect. But, hey, I'm not going to argue with what my boss said. O:)

And I should double check my posts before I hit the button. This is twice tonight.
