Busy c-dub

I have been really busy, which is why I haven’t posted in awhile.

I had my annual review on Friday. I don’t know why, but I am always nervous about these kinds of things. But, it went very well and I even got a 5% raise, which was more than most people (the salary increase budget was 3.5%). So, I didn’t get a huge jump just because I got my P.Eng., but I am quite happy with my raise, so it’s all good.

My weekend was great! When I got home on Friday, there were a dozen pink roses waiting for me with a card that CT had made that said “Congrats to my sexy wife on becoming a P.Eng.” and it had penguins on it (since P.Eng. is the first 4 letters of penguin). What a nice surprise!

On Saturday, CT took me out for my P.Eng. celebration. It was YUMMY! Then on Sunday, I had my celebration with my family and Oma made my favourite dessert EVER! It’s a german cake and the best way to describe it is a braided coffee cake with hazelnut filling and icing dribbled over it. Man, is it yummy and such a treat since she rarely makes it anymore! I felt so special! My family made me a nice card, again with penguins all over it. It was really nice to get everyone together to celebrate my accomplishments. I guess everyone is proud of me ;)

Yesterday, I had to go to a meeting in the evening that was 3 hours away, so I didn’t get home until midnight. So, I worked a total of 16 hours yesterday! So, I came in at 11am this morning to compensate a bit. I still have an extra 5 hours for the week, so I may either leave early on Friday or bank the time (or some of each). The timing of me being away worked out well actually since Grand Theft Auto 4 came out yesterday, so CT had the entire evening to play it with my brothers. My parents even had him over for dinner since I was away, which I thought was really cute.

I am really looking forward to my 4-day weekend since I have Monday and Tuesday of next week off!
