So today during my scheduled weekly meeting I find out three things:
1) they are hiring a second person to help me - she is being offered the job tonight.
this helps me in having her concentrate on the numbers side where I can focus my attention to just the designs!!
2) i have to go not only to Hong Kong and Shanghai this month but also Vietnam (by Hanoi)...never been there and I'm a little nervous.
3) i got a raise! it's only a 6% raise and he admitted it wasn't huge but he also noted the economic issues and what-not. so for now, i'm okay with that. he also mentioned how after many ex-girlfriends, he has come to the understanding that he does not give compliments out very often at all. he said that he is very very happy with my work and so is everyone in the company. he is extremely proud of me and respects me and my hard work. he thinks i'm going a fabo job!!! WOOHOO!!! that's really what i wanted...just to hear that i'm doing things right!!
i'm going out for mexican food to celebrate!!
