May. 1st, 2009 10:30 amGood news: I was surprised to discover that I've received a promotion to the next pay level, effective 1 June.
Mixed news: The workshop I was planning to attend in Washington has been canceled so I won't be travelling to the US. This does, however, mean that I have more flexibility in my vacation dates so can take that week off (it's a four-day work week in Ontario), and I don't have to navigate major airports during a swine flu outbreak (although there have been no reported cases in Washington).
