So said Arnold Rimmer in "Red Dwarf", and so I am apparently doing at Ipsos-Reid.
I got my 6-month performance evaluation tonight. It included a 55 cent raise (bringing me from $8 Canadian to $9.80 in that same 6-month period), notification that I'm eligible to test to a Level Three interviewer (which is damned fast by all accounts), AND an offer to move to the 5-day-a-week day shift. If I test to Level Three successfully, my wage will automatically increase to $10.50/hour.
It has been a day of triumphs.
But also a day with one annoyance -- an inspiration slogan which I created especially for a Team Denmark meeting has just appeared on one of the big whiteboards at the head of the field area, but with a DIFFERENT person's initials attached as creating it. I've put a bug in the ear of one of the supervisors, and hopefully it will be sorted out quickly. I find that kind of creative theft distasteful in the extreme... which, considering that I write fan fiction, is a bit ironic, n'est pas?
