Finally!

So, at long last, I've gotten the performance review that I wanted. It has greatly increased my chances of a promotion and, as a result, a pay rise.

In my opinion, this should have happened years ago, but when you're fighting against blatant favouritism and internal politics, what can you do?

And after fighting so long for it, I should feel happier. But most of me thinks "why did it take so long?" and obviously I feel that I've had to work twice as hard, twice as long just to get the recognition.

Ah well. Onwards and upwards - it's going to be a social weekend!
