What is the best thing that happened to you in 2008?
 
The best thing that happened to me was getting custody of my 15 year old daughter...What about you?

That is something worth celebrating for sure. I met some cool new people but 2008 has'nt been great to me both personally and professionally. 2009 better make up for it dammit.

2008 was my graduating year as well as the first 7 months or so of freedom without school. So, just being able to experience all things Ive never been able to. The work life, woohoo hah.

I got bumped 2 pay levels and made journeyman technician. I started out after I graduated school 2 years ago as a grade 4, now I am grade 9. The general policy is no more than 1 grade per year making 5 years that it should take to get to where I am now. My last boss was bumping me one grade per review (every 6 months). This time I got bumped to the top and am now a senior technician, at least 3 years ahead of my peers. I was hired into a journeyman position 18 months ago but didn't get the pay till now. I am so damn happy about this.

That's awesome Predator...electrician right? My hubbies thinking of getting into the union.


Well, I met lots of cool people, found lots of sweet music (thanks to MB), and it snowed this month. Not too exciting this year...but not bad.
