It looks like starting October 1, 2006 I will be getting a pay increase of 2.6%. I believe this is to keep my wage on track with the CPI increase. I won’t be the only one though, as I believe everyone working for the government is receiving the same increased percentage. Now I can think of all the possibilities on how to spend this new found income… Too bad it wasn’t 26% then I would be able to take longer planning!
