I had my six month evaluation at work today. I had a 3 (exceptional) in everything except Knowledge (2) and Attendance (4). It was a very positive evaluation. This apparently was good enough to give me a 50 cent raise. (In another three and a half years, maybe I’ll actually be able to meet our expenses!)

We currently have no telephone service, so if you want to talk to us, you’ll have to send an e-mail. In other news I got a call today (before we lost service) from Bankers Life and Casualty Company.

Last night I applied for a position for Volunteer Center Coordinator at the University of Central Oklahoma (not to be confused with OU). It’s probably the position I’m most qualified for that I’ve applied for. Almost all of my work experience has been coordinating volunteers.
