It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I got an earlier work schedule on Christmas day. Some cards from the female co-workers, that's super.
Two years ago I got one though. Just performance bonuses throughout the year otherswise.

I'd better...
I'm proud to say that our team has brought three hotels and as many apartment buildings back on line after the hurricane. Two others are on the way.
We have had to coordinate the replacement of entire building systems, roofs, windows,..etc., which keeps the revenue steam going for our company.
At the company Christmas party, all of the big dicks patted me on the back for a job well done.
Show me the money a$$holes!

It starts out as a $25 gift certificate (a 'bonus' so it ends up getting taxed as such)... so it ends up being about $15. Since you have to spend it, last year I bought a magazine and used the rest for gas money. So I end up 'paying' tax to buy a certificate I never wanted anyway. After you subtract the cost of fuel, I wonder if I didn't end up losing money in the deal, LOL.
What's a performance bonus? LOL.

Thanks Jonny.
I'm preping for my year end review.
Pumped out two basements, (10 days each), repalced electrical switch-gear, sprinkler systems and special alarm systems, jocky pumps, transfer switches and generators, electrical panels, elevators, trach compactors, entire telephone systems, gas meters, domestic water systems, boilers and support tanks, chillers, roof repairs, decks around pools on hotel roofs, gutted hotel lobbys and rooms, (carpet, wall covering, furniture and fixtures) and reconstructed same, removed and ordered and installed approximately 500 refrigerators, corrdinated and had to draw millwork shop drawings for window and door replacement on historic buildings, met with flood and wind storm adjusters, coordination with public adjusters, attorneys, condo association dicks and a bunch of other shit.
Cancelled my trip to the Great Smoky Mountains, almost lost a dear friend to an elevator accident, drank alot, cried alot, I'm depressed and got a flat tire today.
I'm pooped and its not over. Just informed that I need to get over to the American Can Project and get that one under way.
Sorry to Whine. I want a bonus!

Well last year My husband won a $500 travel certificate good at a local travel agency good toward a guided travel vacation at his company Christmas party. Since we didn't want to go anywhere on a guided tour (like overseas etc) we cashed it in. They also have a professional photographer there to take a professional picture of you and your partner or just you for a free 8 X 10. Otherwise no bonus.
This year doubt we will be so lucky. We will probably just be blessed with the photo. Oh my husbands boss is sending him (all expenses paid) to Dallas the three days before DAVCON 06. There he gets to participate in a company training program. Warm Dallas in the middle of freezing Jan. I am jellous.
Now, my husband was telling me about a small local computer company that the boss paid all expenses to get ALL employees and their significant other to Vegas for a week at the beginning of the year. NICE.
Me, I got a raise.

Last year we all got $75 bucks...no office party
This year the Big Guy is throwing an office party so I doubt there will be any bucks on it.
My first year there there was a party AND $125 bucks bonus.
I say forget the party and cash me back 1% of the commissions I brought in for the man over the last year..
(dream on, Pegg)

Hubby got a $10.00 coupon towards a Butterball Turkey and a bonus (minus taxes of course) which came to a little over $300.
I got my first unemployment check, thanks again to EX BOSS.

Are you kidding? I work for the Library.
Five years now with no bonus and really sucky pay. Oh... We did get a 3% increase in our pay. That almost keeps me even with the 6% increase in the actual cost of living.
Christmas party????? Yeah...Right.....They have one but it's for employees only. No spouses invited. I don't go to parties without my wife.
