This reminds me of a story with a consultant at LMB. We were sitting around talking about how we make good money. I was saying I am dork. I am perm so I am not making any money. You contractors make all the loot. He replied, "I make good money, but not 'sexy' money. Sexy money is when geeks like I us get supermodels!!" =)
Speaking of money, I went to the company's all hands meeting yesterday. The CEO wheeled in a quarter of a million dollars in cash in a wheel barrel. The CEO than proceeded to pass out our bonuses in cash. What, you don't believe me, here is my Christmas bonus. (This isn't my annual bonus, just a christmas gift...and no I didn't get a quarter of a million. That was just the total. I just $700 bucks in $20's.)

wow. i got a $30 bonus. and i was happy about it! one, since working in a struggling arts nonprofit the last 7 years, no bonus, cause there was never any money left over at the end of the year. two, cause i've only been working 1 1/2 months, and three, cause i'm only working part time.
beautiful christmas card photo.
well, i just got through talking with MY co-workers about how excited we were because our CEO just announced that they changed their minds and are giving us January 2nd off!!
can we all say, "LOOOOOOSER!!"
Miles,
It's called a Christmas Bonus when your boss gives it to you. It's called Jack's College Tuition fund when you get home.
Don't forget even though you got 'cash' you're gonna get taxed on it..soooo your $700 is more like $350. Still sexy.. Cash is always KING!
Man.. I missed those days....

at least you get the 2nd off. it beats working. plus, if you make a million dollars a day, that is a million dollar bonus!
sao -
taxed? what? maybe at YOUR company...our bonus is tax free. 1099 for consultants though.
naw, yes, we are taxed too. =( way to be the scrooge at xmas time. ba-hum bug!
Geez! $700 for a Christmas gift! All we got was a free DVD at our studio store!
....and don't think that I used it to purchase a Rebound DVD. I still have it sitting in the card.
