Oh gosh.  I cannot believe it actually happened.  My boss surprised me today with a promotion.

I know I was whinging about it for a while, trying to actually write down everything to demonstrate I was working at a higher level.    My boss has been behind me the whole time, but I knew it was the barriers with upper management that stopped him.  But he was able to break through finally with the case and he did it. He successfully managed to get through with management, HR, everywhere.

I am OVER THE MOON!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Am just seeing this; congrats!

Today we had a photographer coming from the local little freebie magazine to do a story and photos on the shop today.  I made sure to wear a little lipstick for the photos.  My area manager was also in the shop today.  He said to me, "You know what you remind me of....one of those geisha girls."  :o  Well my manager and I were howling with laughter.  The area manager got a bit embarrassed, but I just took it as the compliment it was meant to be.  Amazing what a bit of lipstick can do for a girl!  ;)
