December is here and 2004 is almost pau. I just got the results of my first assessment today, It looks like I’ll be getting a bigger paycheck, with a slight bump in my biweekly budgets. I’m still a little fuzzy on how it all adds up, but all I know is that a got an email this afternoon outlining my base pay increase pre-locality. It seems like the first period went by a lot quicker than I had originally expected, and at least on paper the mid-result has been a very positive one.
Pau with 5/6 apps, really am hoping that this will be the last time I ever have to apply for any kind of academic program, period. I probably shouldnt’ be complaining, being that I have gotten into a number of schools already, but held back on committing to them in pursuit of other opportunities and experiences that sometimes presented themselves quite suddenly. I’m crossing my fingers that the little extra effort I put in drafting some writing samples will pay off this time.
Heading down to Atlanta to visit an agency and get some information on their programs and procedures. Probably get a tour of their facilities as well, looking forward to it. Will be staying in a pretty nice hotel, at the expense of the agency, another perk. I’ll get to add another state to my list.
Lots going on in the world today, added some links to the index.html page on articles that I’ve come accross. one that stuck out: religious views of Robert M. La Follette.
