Most of you probably already know that Tazlah is my girlfriend and though not married, we have been together for 12 years.
Yesterday... taz got a long awaited, much deserved raise and promotion. She works for a financial institution that is notorious for not advancing people regularly and taz did the unthinkable... she jumped two spots. Very rare in her company.
She achieved it through hard work, perseverance, and just general pride in her job. She deserved the promotion as much as anyone ever deserved a promotion, and worked dilligently to get it.
I just wanted to say congrats in a public forum because I know the world is full of people, that like the rest of us, are just trying to claw our way to the middle. I wanted you all to know that it does pay off sometimes.
I'm very proud of taz... maybe soon she can be my sugar momma.

Give her a virtual hand folks.
