It's that time of year when we get to find out our pay awards. The usual, nervous point of the year, waiting for the boss to call you off into a side room and deliver the bad news. So after Tony, my department head, had had his chat with my line manager, Mike, it wasn't long before I was called in yesterday afternoon for our chat. I wasn't expecting much, beyond another raft of targets and discussion about what I wanted to achieve over the coming year.
Well, I've been bowled over this year 
I've been promoted And a payrise as well
Not at all what I expected, and a complete surprise Which led nicely into my objective setting for the year. And yes, you've guessed it, I was so surprised with the promotion, I've agreed to everything. Except I can't actually remember what my objectives are. I'll be reading them very carefully come next week when it's published, make sure Mike and Tony haven't snuck something in whilst I wasn't concentrating 
So, beers are on me this weekend lads
