On Saturday I went with my friends LeAnn, Scott, and their kids to celebrate their daughter Gwyneth's 7th birthday. We went for dim sum at China Pearl, a nice restaurant in Boston's China town district. Afterward, we did a little shopping, picked up a few gifts for the birthday girl, and then went for dessert at Faneuil Hall.

As most readers of this blog know I've been working pretty hard since joining my current company in May 2004. I'm pleased to say that my efforts have been rewarded and today I was promoted to the position of Documentation Manager.
The promotion goes into effect on April 1, a better April Fool's Day gift I could not ask for. Hopefully the joke will not be on me when I see what increase in compensation I get for this promotion, other than the extra work and less time for marathon foosball matches. It will also help supplement my saving for a house/condo and my upcoming vacation.
