Title: Received a gift from my employer
Post by: AustinMike on 12/13/2017 02:34 PM
Just arrived an Echo device from Amazon.  Not bad at all, but I have an Echo Dot already.  I'm returning it to Amazon and will probably buy crossbow accessories with the money.  It was nice to receive anything at all, considering bonuses don't go out till end of first quarter.

Nice to receive anything at all is exactly the right way to look at it  :bigthumbs:  That's how I always viewed the Christmas bonus - it's free money, anything I get is great.  There were rumblings this year that we wouldn't get a bonus but I got mine today, very nice of my employer.

Exactly Silver.  There are guys I work with who bank on our annual bonus, but I try not to.  I can usually make my bonus stretch at least 6 months before the money is all gone.  I use some of it to get away with the kids over the summer.  The rest usually goes to bills.

EXACTLY............I expect nothing - 'cause that's normally what I get..........LMAO.

Not really, however, every day above ground is a good day. As a cancer patient / survivor - EVERY DAY is a BONUS. Enjoy your bonuses if you get them, if not - enjoy each and every day.
