I got a promotion

March 21st, 2006 at 10:00 pm

Well, it's official. I signed the offer letter. I got a promotion.

I like my company. It offers an awesome benefits, medical, dental, 401K, tuition reimbursement, FSA, and I'm taking advantage of all of them. But, my job really sucked. It was totally a skill mismatch. My current job is too passive for me (meaning I had to wait for other people to move first, then I report what they've done.) Finally, I got a job that is more pro-active.

The offer for my salary wasn't as good as I thought, but I accepted it. It's a big incentive for me to be able to leave my current job without leaving the company.

March has been a pretty good month.

$91.5 added to my rebate account

I've been answering a reserach from Cairo.com. They said they collected enough data and finished research. I just received $80 check from them for completing all of my survey questions.

$10 Colgate and $1.5 Orajel rebate also came on Friday.

That's $91.5 addition to my rebate account!

Current balance:
Bank A $421.78
Bank B $285.32
Software rebate pending $225
Total $932.1

Another software was sold. Again, it was totally not expected.

Actually, the buyer paid more than I did. I paid $29.99 for it and listed the software for $40 because I didn't want it to sell till I get my rebate check. Well, it was sold already. I should do price check more often.
