I got a raise! It was so unexpected, especially since I just got one in September. Yesterday morning, however, I completed a fairly complex project and all of the executives were really pleased with it. That afternoon my boss gave me a raise. He just decided to that day based on my project. I was shocked!

I'm really happy because I was worried about my health insurance. This is the first year I will be insuring myself through my company rather than being insured through my parents (as a student), and boy, is it expensive. Now I feel a bit more relaxed.

I also feel pretty valued there. Yay :)
