Bridal extravaganza
posted on 9/14/08 5:23 am
Okay well two bits of news for this week - first off I got a raise/paygrade promotion at work.  Like...congrats you get a 24% increase in your salary.  Heck yeah.  That's huge.  I really can't complain, I've gotten a raise of some sort every 6 months since I've been at Dell.  Toasted toads truth.  I know that isn't the case for everyone so I'm just happy that I've done so well.  I started at Dell 4.5 years ago at....are you ready for this?  .75 an hour.  That's not exactly 'lets build my career here' money. 

But - Dell told me during training that this was a 'meritocracy'.  Time here doesn't matter as much as how well you do.  So yeah, it's not like I'm making fantastically great money now or anything, but I'm over 20 an hour which was my goal for the year.  Works for me. 

Second news is I get to go to the RHCE training class.  This is a BIG DEAL guys.  i say this because there were over 20 people who wanted to get in, and only 10 of us were selected to go.  It's an 800 dollar course just to go and plus we get paid to attend.  So I'm going to get a two week course in linux and pray to god that I can learn what I need to learn in time to pass that test.  For as much as dell is investing for me to go, I really want to do my best.  I have three weeks before the classes start. 
Let the games begin!!!

Okay the last thing Im waiting to hear bout is the house and we've been told we have a 'very strong bid', ours is the highest, but someone is almost as much as us and bid cash.  Drat. But we'll find out very shortly what happens.  We're hoping and praying and crossing our toes.

Okay so onto the bridal stuff.  I'm going to go ahead and post a link to me in my wedding dress.  I'm not putting it up here because I don't want Jeff to stumble across it accidently.  That's not fair to him, he really doesn't want to see it before hand.

So there we go, it's alfred angel and I love it.  Most expensive dress I've ever had so I better love it eh?? :)  I'm getting my engagement pics done in 3-4 weeks as well, oct 10th so I'll put those pictures up as soon as we get them. 

Today we will be looking at DJs, Wedding Cakes and invitations :)  There is a 5 hour bridal event....you can win 50k too!  If I win the 50k, Im assuming that's about 30k after taxes, I'll finish putting deposits on everything and I'll have my plastic surgery done.  Then I really would look hot for my wedding eh? *laugh*  

I'm also trying to let my hair grow out some....so I can have an 'updo' of sorts for my wedding.  it's been 4 months since I've had it cut and it's almost touching my shoulders now.  I have an appointment for a trim on oct 1st.  We'll see what we can do with it, style wise and talk about it.  Hopefully something can be done :)  I don't want to pay for extensions. 

Well that's about all that's going on here for now.  Except that Im SO lucky I found Jeff, it's wonderful being in love with someone that's such a sweetie :)
