It's been 6 months since I got my last raise, but this is the one I've been waiting to get. I'm in the union so we get raises at weird times and often they come in increments when you take a new job and the first couple are minor raises, then the last one through "progression" is the biggest one. After a year of taking my new job I got a $.50 raise, then 6 months later I got another $.50 raise, but this next one is going to be a $9 raise. All of them are per hour so I'm thrilled to finally be getting this one. I knew 2 years ago that it'd be great when I got around to this one, but it seemed like it was never coming around. I get it on Monday so this was my last shitty paycheck and from now on I should be able to make some serious money. It's coming at a perfect time since I just moved into a new house (been living with my gf and her parents for the last 2.5 years), so I'll actually have bills and it's holiday season. I know some of you are going through rough times and don't want to throw it in anyone's face, but I'm just ecstatic to finally be getting a good raise.
