Good news got even better

Yesterday morning, I spoke to my "relationship partner" (the partner I can talk to about anything), and she gave me some great news. This was a tough few weeks to wait after the news that I was getting a promotion. She told me about my compensation and benefits...which I think are pretty decent. I was happy with the percentage raise and by bonus. It was my understanding that some of the associates getting promoted, that got rated the same as I did, did not get a bonus or did not get a great bonus. So, I guess I just consider myself lucky...and glad that I'll have the money to pay for the vacation we just took. :)

I'm still alive!

Yes, I know it has been a while since I have posted, and I assure that I am alive and well. I've been in LA (Louisiana, not the city in California) for work the past few weeks.

This week Julie and I are on vacation...which is so nice that I wish we could be on vacation all the time. :)

So, right now I am laying down on my bed in a Hampton Inn in San Antonio, after a long day of adventures. (You can see more about our adventures on our JustinAndJulie blog...when I write about them in the near future)

I have also been lusting after the new pocketPC from Sprint. I have the PPC-6700, but have been trying to see if complaining about it will make the Sprint service center techs give me a new PPC-6800, also known as the HTC Mogul. My most recent attempt this past Saturday only resulted in the rep saying they could send mine in for repairs, and I would get the new/fixed one on Friday. As the store I went to is located in Austin...I decided against it. The rep actually recommended that I go to forum.xda-developers.com and install a newer ROM. So I did, and I like the one I found...mainly because it allows you to intall some of your favorite apps in ROM. I'm still playing around with it, as I'm trying to add some apps of my own to the ROM.

Anyway, that's it for now.
