when it rains, it pours?

i got a surprise raise today and it completely made my day! my salary increased by 25%; i am thrilled! they are making it retroactive to july 1st, so that is pretty awesome too. i am very much looking forward to pay day on friday -- even more than usual!

on top of that, my cousin has a job lead for me. i didnt think i had the right qualifications, but i discussed it with her and she still wants me to send my resume. the position is for a psychosocial services director at a nursing home. a real job related to my actual field of study... my mind is reeling. im gonna send my resume and hope for the best. if it doesnt work out... well, hey, i've still got my raise!

what a way to turn around a crappy week!
