Surprise Promotion

Cash register

While puttering around at work the other day I received a page to the office.

“What’s up?” I asked as I stuck my head in.

“Have a seat,” the main managers gestured to a chair positioned between them.

When I got up from that chair, I had been promoted to management. I started my training the next day.

I must confess that I was a bit surprised to be offered the position. Based on what I’d observed, I thought they had the management situation well in hand. I’m honored and delighted that I was wrong.

This new pay raise will make it that much easier to survive on my own. Not only that, I may actually end up with a bit of money left over each month to invest along with my book royalties, especially now that I’m taking additional steps to save money.

Even better, the extra money in my paycheck will put me one step closer to achieving my goals.

Life is truly good.

  1. This is great news! It shows that others are recognizing your value to the company. Look how far you gave come in the last few years! I’ll bet after you first had your accident, you couldn’t have imagined coming through all that and being where you are now. But you persisted.

    1. I know, right? Just looking back at how far I’ve come in just a couple of years amazes me. I wonder where I’ll be in a couple more?
