Even if I lose, I win. I just got unofficial notice that my paperwork has started for my GS-14. I hadn't requested it, but it seems that my performance was noticed (or presented) to a high-up who nudged the chain of command to process my promotion - a process that I hear has already started. Some of the time I'm studying for and taking the bar might be paid at a higher rate! I'm going to pretend that this has something to do with law school, so I feel like the last 4.5 years of work was for a reason.

I likes me my monies, but this is good for a few reasons. One reason is my feeling about whether I am in this job due to alleged negative information about me to my superiors. EVEN IF true that the assignment started off due to such, it seems that word of my performance has trickled up the chain and impressed people. Either the negative information was wrong, or I've performed consistently enough to outlive and outshine the negative information. I are pleased.

Lets see, you get > the $ of 2 steps up and I'm a 13/6, so it seems I should bump to 14/3. That's like a 9% raise - does not suck! Still, I like the recognition more than the $...but both are nice!

So fuck that bar exam...I gots me a 14!

You saw all that, huh? :)

Wow, also just got my fake-bar score...they actually scored me at 133 (vs. the 138 by my own count) but that put me as
Raw score: You answered 133 correctly out of 200, which equals 66.5%
National Rank: You score was higher than 90% of the students taking this exam.

I wanna post this too...but that would be 3 posts in a row.
It's a good day for #s

I just checked the stats, and you're making as much most full professors PhD-granting universities, and at least twice what I'm likely to make with my PhD starting out IF I can land an assistant professorship.

How was this a good idea again?

It's something you like and it is one of the few careers that combines your interests with a salary?

[joanarkham.livejournal.com]

Wow! I'm jealous.

That doesn't mean you have to manage people, does it?

[vicar.livejournal.com]

No...same job, different pay! Hell, I might get more pay on vacation...wouldn't that be a hoot.

By vacation I mean bar prep & study

[cobwellac.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo!! That means a celebratory trip to Cafe Asia is in order...once you're done studying or if you find time before then. Woo hoo!!

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Yes! Much celebrating will be had.

The hard part? I gots me the Embassy Suites at the gummint rate to take the bar exam. Sure I have to take the bar the next day, but they have open bar every night in the hotel...oh dear
