Yeah, the new job was a pay increase over my old place. Everyone in the company had a pay rise for the new year, but as I was new I didn't expect to be included - my contract stated my pay wouldn't be reviewed until 2018. It's only a few percent, but it keeps my salary above inflation, which is useful in Brexit Britain.

Isn't it because of a collective agreement? In that case I think it's normal everybody gets the raise.
Nice to get though.

No, nothing like that. It's a discretionary pay review by the company of the staff, and so contractually they had no obligation to include me in it.

It's weird but, as someone who learned to deal with money during a year in which inflation soared to above 6000% percent, I'm always puzzled when the word is used to describe any rise of prices that doesn't reach 50% a year.
I'm not criticising or bragging or anything, it's just that in my mind it's pretty much like the graph below - 1.6% a year (as in the UK) or 7% (here) means pretty much prices have flatlined

If it's all the same to you Marcus, I'll wait until the Article 50 negotiations are well underway and the markets have reacted before confidently declaring that prices have flatlined. In the meantime, getting a slight income boost is a welcome storm defence.

Tonight, not too much, just having to make the long drive back home for the weekend because I just need a break from my roommates. I am happy though that my name badge finally came in and I can hang it up over my desk at work now. Work load's been getting intense and so far I been watching everyone else getting in trouble but me. Heh, just doing my own thing listening to vaporwave.
Saturday though, shenanigans will be had with a few trusted confidantes.

Did you think of this yourself? I like it but it is still bizarre

Although I bought the stuff for it yesterday, I decided to wait until today to cook my chili. Prepping it in the evening just isn't the same.
The last two times I've made it it's been especially good. Bangin, actually. Today's is no different. Look forward to what others think.
All in the assortment of peppers you use - eight different kinds this time - and how you use your cumin me thinks. I used some maize this time, too, which helped with consistency.
