I got a nice raise. And a promise of a forthcoming promotion later this year  :)
Very much a reason to be cheerful  ;D

Cool! Good for you.


Myself, I start in a new summer job on Monday. Gonna last 'till the end of July. Not entirely sure about the details, but I gather it is some manner of property inspection and surveying. Should be interesting.

I found a little lad of 2-and-a-half wandering in Watford High Street yesterday and found his distraught parents 10 mins later.  Lots of tears, but happy ones. The boy just took it all in his stride.

That must have been an interesting 10 minutes. Well done on your happy success!  :daddance:

Some of my favorite memories of working security involve situations like that.

My return to work yesterday went very well. After a phone call to reset a password that had expired while I was on leave, I was able to get right to work. Fortunately, the task assigned to me had not changed much in my absence. Other than being very tired once I got home, there were no ill effects.
