That should be great for you, too.
our raise
don't get me wrong, it's wonderful. She's making now what a lot of junior ass directors make, so it's pretty fucking rad. Her bonus went up too, so she's now making like 50k annually more than I do and more than either of us 2 years ago. All our shit is fixed at low interest rates from the before times- 3.11 mortgage and honestly we're doing fine even before her raise.
The problem is that does nothing to help my suffering ego. I'm trying to make the best of my current role, but it's working for yet another post-academic micromanager and I'm doing a lot of technical work, rather than the cross-functional program management I was starting to enjoy at my previous position (yes, I like meetings). So in the end, this hurts my ego even though it's great for our family. We could probably survive on her salary alone at this point which is rad, but our retirement account is healthy and I like the vacations we are able to take.
so now I am working from the office. we have a team building activity to watch Waterworld at lunch.
