I don't get any bonus next year. And, I suspect, I get looked at funny by upper management I need to not alienate.
Go whore, choose whore.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd always hoped to sell out more dramatically.
Ah, well.
One more childhood dream evaporates in the light of greed.

ita! Just popping in to let you know that the DVDs arrived. Ta very much!
There will be a return present of a print of something, but of what i am not saying yet. Is the address on the envelope a good return address?

ita, if it means extra money then what Jesse said. This is the only part of self-evaluation I like, I usually set totally attainable goals. Of course, I don't get any extra cash for it, just a hearty handshake and a pat on the back.
In other office news, one of our reps who is in his early 30's had quadruple bypass surgery last week. Of course, payroll messed up his check and only paid him for the days he worked until his surgery. His wife is 7 months pregnant and unsurprisingly, they are both beside themselves with money worry. I've finally managed to get it straightened out, but man, I just wanted to shout "give the guy his FARKING money" about 20 times this week. Can it be Friday now??? Please? With surgar on top?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think Jesse is right.
Maybe you can buy your couch with the money.

Yes, it most certainly is -- enjoy the Who. I certainly did.

Me too. But then upper management doesn't actually care, and erases EVERY GOAL BUT ONE, and the one left is one I was told not to do.
I'm very pro Friday at this point.

I'd have to spend ahead of earning the bonus, but I'm willing to do creative paperwork to ... WAIT! YOU WERE STOPPING ME FROM SHOPPING ... oh, well.

You may yet have an opportunity to sell out bigger and better. Just hold tight.

I just need to make sure I don't give it all away in the meanwhile.
At least Whores have a chance to turn a profit. Sluts, NSM.

Pepsi One had that cute commercial a few years back where folks were on a boat drinking alternate cans of regular Coke and Pepsi One and not noticing that the cans were sliding back and forth. Is Coke Zero supposed to be like regular Pepsi?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
