i'm still not sure how i fenagled that. a couple of months ago i found out that i was being moved into a material planning position. i did a little bit of research by looking around on monster & careerbuilder and jokingly told my boss, "ya know, entry level material planning positions pay x-amount more than i'm making now." sounds like he heard me.

thanks, guys! hopefully i can get rid of this headache and stop sneezing long enough to enjoy this. :)

Wow! Congratulations! Whatever you do, don't look at the deductions column of your next pay slip - it'll make you very sad indeed!

Hey, congrats! That's good news.

Though TheDonF is right about those deductions.
