It was made official today with the signing of my John Hancock, I not only do Supervisor duties, but my actual job title is now 'Supervisor'.
That was 5 months... well 3 months over due since 2 months into being where I'm employed I was already doing supervisor work, but its not as if I had the leverage, or 'hand' if you will, to tell them to shove it back then when I was 'without raise' and 'without title' for what I was actually doing. Now I have my raise (don't act please... it saddens me) and my new title and my new responsibilities. I plan to overwhelm myself with work, much like I have in the past, as to give me the ability to ignore the rest of my annoyances. I'd rather keep busy and not have dwell on life's little whatevers.
Anyhoo...
Starting April 1st I get what I believe is full benefits (better than LOOK) and Lisa can finally get her braces!! Oh wait... that's Grimm who needs to be saying that. The benefits will land me, at least for now, my medication expenses paid for. Which with the rise in inflation, and the ever uncertainty of our dollar has.... BLAH... my pills are an annoying $60 paid quarterly. So I save that money and actually thinking about it again, I can go to the dentist for the first time in ages. I know what you're thinking, "that's gross" but I say humbug to your thinking because at age 26 I still have yet to develop a cavity. All other dental issues have already been taken care of. You are correct in thinking that my teeth are the only part of me that seems to be indestructible.
All of this is a positive lead towards what will be the most painful experience of my life (shoulder surgery). Maybe I can keep my brain thinking enough to forget about the pain. Here's hoping!
