Yipppeeee. My Dad is 82 today...but I'm the one who got the "gift"!!!
MY BOSS and HIS WIFE: gave me my Christmas bonus; $400. Holy SH#@!!! I nearly passed out!! It sure would be great to spend much of it on book$ for Kindle...but the next college tuition payment is due by Jan 7th to the tune of $9,756. Ouch.
Still, receiving that hefty of a bonus made me feel so proud of myself. I never get a compliment or much appreciation at home; (us Moms/Wives often feel taken for granted). It was nice to feel appreciated for my work. My boss said, "you are the brains of this operation, we wouldn't be where we are without you." I wanted to call my mother to ask if I could borrow her breathing inhaler!! I'm stoked!
