Home from work. Longest fucking day there yet.
If I failed to make an adequate fuss over the yuuuuuuuge fucking raise, please accept both my apologies and my belated congratulations.
In other news, the PM - yes, that same PM - paid me as good a compliment as I think I ever have received in nigh on to 40 years of work. He told me that he had specifically requested for me to be here in Hampton to help rein in the clusterfuck from the back end. He said that my job, the last complex, is the only one of the four that is done. He said that he need my "good eye" to raise the completion bar here. He said that he very much likes working with me. I think he said something else, too, but my head was swollen enough that it was making it hard to hear.
He also said we're getting rid of one of the other 2 guys - we're keeping Fibber Magee and getting rid of Mollie. Which is okay with me.
And I forgot to ask for a raise. I guess I was really that flabbergasted.
That's fantastic, but a fistful of dollars is better than berating the mule with words of praise...
... even if they are words of iron!
