Good News!

Hopefully I'll be able to provide some good financial news here soon. My hubby is doing GREAT at his job and really loving it. After he was there for 3 months, he went from temp to perm and was told that he would have a review after 90 days as a regular employee, at which time he may be eligible for a small increase. Well, the 90 days came and went and he didn't say anything, knowing that they'd get around to it eventually and the pay increase (if there was one) would be retro active.

Well, things have been super busy at his work, with lots of overtime lately. (Sweet!) Then, last week, the lead person in his department left. I got all excited, thinking this may be a good opportunity for him to step up and take on some more responsibility. Well, yesterday afternoon his manager mentioned that she was working on his review and apologized for how late it was AND she asked him if he would possibly be interested in the lead position! He said yes, so we'll wait and see where things go.

I'm really so happy for him. Even if it is only a lateral move, it's a good feeling to know that his hard work is paying off and being recognized by others. I'm so proud of him. If it's not just a lateral move and there is a financial increase, I'll be sure to post the good news here :-)
