Tuesday 10/16/07 - Promotion? Me? Really?

Yup, you heard it here first. After a ho-hum morning at work, I was taken into the conference room for my mid-year review. Normally its to go over how I have performed so far, am I reaching my goals, what do I need to do to perform better, etc. At the end of the review, the last sentence my senior manager wrote was, "I recommend a promotion". I thought that was really nice of him. Damn straight I deserve one, but its great to hear it from someone else. I thanked him for his nice remark and then stated, "Let's hope others feel the same way and it gets me one". He then responded with, "Well that leads us to the next folder".

To make a long story short, I received a promotion, a nice salary increase and a big smile on my face. The day couldn't get any better.

After work, we went to the gym where I took the spinning class. I had never taken Stacey's class before, but it was FANTASTIC. I will definitely be going to her class again. I worked my butt off and with the high of my promotion, the endorphins I was producing put me on cloud nine.

Drew and I celebrated with a nice bottle of Dolcetta (sp?) red wine. It was a $40 bottle we purchased at Callaway winery in Temecula. I have to say it was probably one of the best bottles I have had.

Tuesday - October 16th. Great day for Brian. Plain and simple.
