I have been working in the same company for four and a half years but only two as a Physical Therapist Assistant. Thursday was my review with the owner of the company. Just so you know I take after my father is a bad way. I make my self sick to the stomach and raise my blood pressure when I am nervous. So, I was unable to sleep Wednesday night and felt sick most of Thursday. My medications just made that so much more fun!! :)
I met at 9am for the review and sat in a newly renovated conference room with the owner of the company across from me. Deep breath and off we went. He started by asking me "How can I make sure you want to stay with this company in the future?" I relaxed after that! We continued to cover points of the year and my accomplishments for the year. Then he noted I have not taken a vacation in over a year and had only one sick day. I agreed and reminded him I will be leaving for Vegas on the 23rd. He asked details about the trip and how the fertility battle was going. (He is a very family oriented Italian man) Somewhere during our talk he stopped and said "You know what, I am going to give you some extra cash for you and your trip. You deserve a good time. You don't even have to tell your husband, have a good time." WOW!!! I could not believe it. He gave me over a thousand dollars to just have fun!!! Well, we ended the meeting with a hearty hand shake and a smile on my face. Oh, I also got a 8% raise.
So that tells you work for me is going well and then yesterday Jim came home and said he got a 75cent increase per hour for his job as a heavy equipment driver at a concrete company. Things are looking up.
I went and met up with friends and family last night to see the movie CARS. Very cute and a wonderful time.
My back is still a issue and I hope it is better for the big trip. I am at least able to move and perform my job but it gets tight from sitting and I am limited with rotation. It is not causing numbness in my left thigh now though. Slowly improving and I at least work in a field I can have co-workers help me. I know all the right things to strengthen my back again. Just takes time. It was good for so long it will be good again!
