Last year I started working for a new company. I've worked pretty crazy hours since, busting my proverbial ass. My old boss came to the new job with me (I talked him up in my interview) and we came in and replaced a grossly under-performing /overpaid staff. We picked up a mid-level guy and a handful of interns. We found a few diamonds in the rough with the interns and brought the entire infrastructure forward rapidly.
I had a compensation meeting last week in which the executive staff placed a monetary value on the last years work. I came away very pleased. The timing is good as I signed a 2 year least back in October, meaning when my lease is up I'll be able to afford to buy/build on a ~20 acre-ish plot and start building our homestead. I just need Google Project Loon to hurry up and get rural broadband going (time line isn't quite going to match up there, though)
Maybe I can acquire a Milano Verde or another Bitrouble as well ;)

Wow, I was going to congratulate you, But strike zero did it enough for all of us!
At more pedestrian dealerships, I have found that when I take my girlfriend, salespeople practically throw keys at me. I should try that at Porsche
Congrats! As I was reading it I was worried that the title was sarcastic, good to see people recognizing other people doing a good job
Awesome man, it's great to see when management recognizes a good thing. Good work!

My pay increase was substantial, but would require a good bit of savings for your beautiful Alfa.
I gotta say, I do love the transaxle cars.

Most of that will be destined for food production. But a big shop will host many (hopefully not so dead) bellisima Italians. - of the mechanical kind.
