How much longer in Separated?

[jon2911]

Got word from my boss yesterday that my promotion has gone through. So excited! More money, more enjoyable job description. It's been a long road but I've learned a lot.

He actually told me about my next raise in December also, but it wasn't as much as I'd hoped. After talking with a business owner friend at recovery group, I accepted the promotion and raise now, and said "I'd like to leave the December raise up for negotiation, but we can talk about that then." It's so great to have this guy to talk to, he has 12 employees which is about the size of my current company. I took him to dinner last night (at W's suggestion) and he really gave me some insight into an owner's perspective. I'll be doing a lot of things differently now. Will journal that later.

Fantastic conversation with W last night. She went out alone for a couple margaritas and a Southeast Texas karaoke night. Sounded hilarious. I told her I wished I was there, I know how she gets with tequila. She said "I know, that's why I had to head home". I told her if she can't make it up here next weekend, I'm driving down there. She said "we'll see".
