The Blonde Diaries

Yesterday I received an email from my relationship partner yesterday at work to meet with her this morning in her office. I was a tad nervous because it is time for our annual compensation discussions at work and last year didn’t go so well. Actually it went so badly throughout the office that many partners had their discussions via phone rather than in person. So I was prepared for another bad year to tell you the truth and was pleasantly surprised when I saw that she wanted to meet in person.

So I made sure to wake up bright and early, pick out office appropriate clothing, and ensure I was in full makeup and decently dried hair (I’m really not that sloppy everyday but partner face time is different) and got to the office early. I had great news!! The Houston office and market in general are really doing well right now and in order to stay competitive with the oil and gas industry I received a 12% raise and a 6% bonus. I am elated. Bonus is going to the Greece fund and the raise will be heading to the 401K and Roth IRA funds. I think we will totally be able to swing Greece now. Yippee!!!
