*happy dance* I was so worried about how much that 'does not meet expectations' on my review was going to affect my raise?  I got the largest one (outside the cost of living raise 2 years ago) since I've been there!  I wanted 22 cents, to bump me up to a full $17, but they gave me 30 cents!!  Whoot!  Previous raises have been around fifteen cents to a quarter.  Take THAT Keri....
