Good News for the Gunny Family

[KG Erwin]

This is totally off-topic, so forgive me. My wife and I have been struggling to make ends meet, but a promotion for Mrs. Gunny is just around the corner, and we are very happy about it. My wife is in the retail business, and will soon be promoted to store manager. This will give us a boost in income, and help us dig ourselves out of a major financial hole. She has worked very hard to get this, and I'm very proud of her. She will now be be making more money than me, but does that bother me? Hell, no! I'm locked-in to my position in state government, so the burden of upwards-mobility fell upon her. It will involve longer work-hours and increased responsibility to yours truly to keep the household in shape.

All of this reinforces the notion that giving up my position as mod was the right thing to do. The moral is--hard work DOES pay off, as does persistance and belief in what you are doing.

Here's to Mrs. Gunny, for working her way from the bottom of the retail food-chain to a managerial position. I consider myself a very lucky man. [&o]

Hey that is great news.....[:)]

David and all, thanks for your replies. I have a 40/hr per week day job, and my wife will now be putting in more hours on salary. I really have to step up my responsibilities as the man who helps do the laundry and the dishes, but it is worth it. I may not be spending as much time with you guys as I would like to, but family comes first.

Yes, the promotion is now official, and within a couple of weeks we will be entering a higher tax bracket. [X(] However, I can start thinking about getting some debts paid down, and then maybe some new toys (for my daughter AND myself). [:D]

[Wild Bill]

Well deserved for both of you! I'm so happy to hear this...WB
