Nice Garry! Being appreciated for your hard work makes it all worthwhile.
That actually segues in to my happy moment. 2 days ago I told my boss I had reach my limit of being able to cope with an ever increasing workload with ever dwindling staff and static pay and having to drive an hour in the morning just to get there. Told him I quit (didn't have another job). He asked me to go home and think about it, I asked him to do the same.
Today I received a $20K payrise AND the go ahead to hire a new assistant.
Life is good today
