promotions.

It never rains,but it pours.<br />In the past month,both my wife and I were promoted.My wife is now the development administrator of the chemistry department of the University of Rochester.I went up an additional rung on the stepladder of civil service.Between the two of us that means a yearly income increase of roughly $21000.On top of that my wife's is retroactive for 3 months.<br />To put extra cream on the cake. The universty of Rochester just decided that personel that has worked for the university for over 10 years ,will now get complete tuition benefits for their dependents.So now we can stop saving money to put my youngest son through college.It is a good feeling to know that number four's education is now taken care of as well.<br />I feel like we can finally relax a bit.<br />Happy holidays.

Congrats Mr & Ms rolmops. Perserverance and dedication go a long way. Happy Holidays to you and yours as well.<br /><br />The Universty of Rochester is a conservative school, right?

Congrats to you both. But thier is a puddle of oil undr your car. the water heater is leaking and the washing machine is going out and to top that the lower unit on your boat just froze and busted. Now thats the way good news works for me. and you can throw that lottery ticket away , its a looser.

Congrats,<br />It good to see that some places still believe in rewarding loyalty and longevity.<br /><br />Does that nice increase mean a new Boat?????? <br /><br />Nav

Re: promotions.

Does this wage increase mean a new boat?It's more likely a new roof on the house.Besides,my junkboat is a father and son project.So it will stay with me for another bunch of years,it's a fishing rig after all.
