This means I jump two slots in seniority, too, which is good as far as picking vacation times. But the best news of all is I got a 10 percent raise. I didn't even ask for a review. I was rewarded for being a team player and just doing the hard work without complaining. I mean, we are talking about The Agency That Never Shuts Up.
Life is good in other ways, too.
My father has recovered his full strength after a minor but necessary operation that was successful. I got a letter from him today mentioning he will be playing 18 holes this week which is really good news. I' ll stick with bowling. At least there the plaid-wearers aren't driving while I'm lining up my shot.
