    I'm a happy camper

    Had my first review at work today folks. Been working for the company since October, and I was promoted to a manager 2 weeks ago.

    My review went something like this:

    1 - you're doing an outstanding job
    2 - we're going to continue to pay the rent on your apartment until the end of the year
    3 - we're giving you an extra $5k per annum.

    This equates to a salary of $60,000! Not bad for a 25 year old

    Next year i'll have to start paying the rent out of my wages, but my gross will become $60k.

    And I get to see my girlfriend for the first time in 4 weeks on Sunday \:D/

    Floating on air at the moment :D

    Congrats!!!!! Good news all around sounds like!

    Be careful on the company supplied apartment. I had a company which paid rent on a house for me for a year (it was a killer house too), and come federal tax time, I found out that I had to report the amount of money the company paid for rent as income for myself and pay taxes on it... Suprise!

    That is awesome! I was thinking about moving down to CA from WA after I finish school ... of course I got the GF that I don't want to leave behind.

    It seems like there are 10 times as many jobs down south as there are up here too, and I LOVE the heat!
    If you can't make it ... Don't come!

    Knowing the Internet I'd give it a week before the whole of Colton know what you're earning! ;) ;)
