Today starts off with a bang! Our annual salary increases go into effect at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center - woohoo! Over the years I've used different calculators, but the last time I had pushed for a promotion I used this one and it's really great. Whether you're requesting an increase in pay or simply want to know how much your getting. Fill out the following information and you'll get your answer.
I highly recommend raisecalculator.com - it is my favorite of all calculators. As you can see in the images I provided, you will enter your current pay rate - Annually, Monthly, Semi-Monthly, Bi-Weekly, Weekly or Hourly; Enter the percent of increase, the hours worked per week and Ta-Da! You'll have your raise broken down into increments. [image 2]

I received some great news today and would absolutely love to share it with you. I use my blog to record important events like this, because as I mentioned when I started this blog; We go about our daily lives "Facebooking," not realizing that our lives are being shared daily with our friends and family. There are times we wish to reflect on the past, especially the good times, and before you know it, it's gone. We share things with people we don't know in the physical sense, yet they are there to listen. We share things with the people we love, yet they seem to forget.
Countless times I have attempted to remember what I've posted on Facebook and what I've told the people I love or the great discussions we've had. And it's difficult to go back and reflect on all the good that's happened in our lives, or all the drama that's made us laugh. In order for me to go back I have to keep clicking that "older posts" link, without a date, without a tag, without no way of searching for that special moment I wanted to remember forever.
Well... the awesome news I want to share with you is....
I'm receiving a promotion, with a 15% increase in pay and I'm absolutely ecstatic about it. This is such great news at a time when I was worrying about our staffing issues at work. People seem to be dropping like flies around here. Yes, some leave because they are over-worked, really stressed-out, asked to do jobs they were not hired to do, but others leave because they're able to find greater jobs here at MD Anderson, so they make lateral moves. But being that I have worked in Breast Oncology for such a long time (9 years to be exact), I have stood my ground for the past four years, exceeded in areas I never thought I could achieve, and have proven to be a leader in our department. This holiday season will be mine and Ryan's greatest holiday to date, and I am so grateful he has stood by my side for the past 6-1/2 years and will continue to enlighten me every moment of every day. I couldn't have done this without him. I couldn't.
I know I rant on my blog on a daily basis, but it's more than just ranting. I like sharing. I like sharing my opinions with happiness, my happiness with heart, but most importantly, my heart with all of you.
Thank you for reading my blog and enjoy your holidays this season.
