    Well, my work gave a pretty nice bonus this year (1.25 months salary). I applied a big chunk toward paying down my home equity line (from the new furnace/AC that I had to buy last summer). But I did buy a (used) snow blower (been without one for a few years).

    So far:
    Coal Chocolate (which actually tastes disgusting)
    Poopy Sheep
    PJs
    A ceiling fan (for my living room)
    Cognac
    a sawzall
    Wigwam socks
    Money
    Am I alone here? Is that it?
    Am I the only one who sees.

    Maybe we can learn to be just like him.
    Wear a little uniform.
    Yes, sir.
    No, sir.
    Thank you, sir.

    Nice. I miss having good bonuses.

    I think that part is still run like it always was and is up to the individual manager. And since my manager is family, he's always trying to prove that he deserves the job he has by runnign a "tight ship". Im fairly confident that people well below my pay grade by default get a bigger bonus check than I do, simply by being in a different department.

    - Samsung bd-d5100 Blu-Ray player (finally! Netflix Canada on my TV)
    - Lion King Blu-Ray collection
    - Lion King snow globe (has Simba beside a log, and plays "Hakuna Matata")
    - Harry Potter sorting hat (I'm in Ravenclaw house)
    - Orange Kodak Kodakin plushie (I have 5 now)

    I can't forget the amazing weekend with the family. Went to my father's place on Christmas Eve, then my brother, his wife & I spent Christmas Day here at home.

    Oh, and some awesome pumpkin cheesecake with cream cheese icing, with caramel & chocolate drizzle on top. My brother bought it for him and his wife, but I decided to try a bit to see if I now like cheesecake. Apparently, I do!

    My wife just told me today that she was able to get two pairs of tickets to Blackhawks games (one against the Canucks and one against the Blues - both great rivalries) in late March. I'll go with each of my 2 sons (one each game). These are from a season ticket holder and are supposed to be pretty decent seats.

    sounds like you need to switch to another department.
