I just bought a brand new central air conditioning system
I was thrilled when I heard I was being considered for a promotion at work.
It was just a rumor from somebody in human resources, but he had a strong feeling that it was based on fact. I started pulling in more weight at work and offered to take up a few overtime days as a way to take stress off of my managers. I think they noticed the effort I was putting in because I was called into their office about a week later. I was ecstatic when they told me that I was being offered a promotion and a raise. I had to act as surprised as I possibly could because I didn’t want the person in the human resources department to get in trouble for telling me about the raise and promotion ahead of time. It’s okay because I was still so excited that I doubt that they could figure out from my reaction alone. It was just really nice to finally feel valued for the work that I put in at my job. And with all the extra money that’s been coming in I’m able to afford upgrades at home as well. I decided to treat my wife to a brand new air conditioning system. Our old one has been in this house for 17 years. While we’ve only been living here for 6 years, we knew that the air conditioner would need to be replaced eventually. However, we didn’t have the money to replace the central air conditioner until now. I’m just happy that I can finally get the work done. Then we’ll have an air conditioner that works efficiently without wasting too much electricity in the process.
