Celebrating my 1st year work anniversary

Amazing.. it's already 1 year!!

The same time last year, I was still a blur blur, gong gong sotong trying to fit in and find my way.
Today, I am a one year old fledgling doing the Train and the Thanks.

Frankly, I am quite pleased that I've stayed on and I hope to continue to do so and excel in my work. Still... I hope for a raise....

Sigh, I must say that money is still an issue for me. It sucks when you know things that you shouldn't.. It's not relevant how I found out.. what happens is that I did... Yes, I do wish I were paid more... but I also know that experience and doing well at your job counts too.

I am not letting this affect me adversely in any way, but when I am alone, I must admit that I do think of this. But if we are thinking of equity, I am also thankful for the chances I have gotten and the joy I am getting out of learning something new everyday.

Still, I am now 80% happy.. the remaining 20% can be made up for if I had a raise... I hope very dearly for one and so I look forward to the mid year appraisal. Hopefully, my bosses think that I have earned my stripes or maybe just one stripe, but which is enough to make me 100% happy.
