"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Country 'Y' was not Mexico.

Damn. It was France, wasn't it? In which case, Catherine Deneuve.

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

Dana has one of those mattresses, Consuela, and I'm pretty sure she likes it. I've heard great things about them.

Do you already have a large flatscreen monitor? That's what my first bonus went on.

Wah. Bonus time always makes me so sad, because I work for a Looniversity. (Even though I got a bonus this year, very unusually. (Our bonuses happen in summer). It went away immediately on normal expenses.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think Betsy has one, also.

Ah, but what are the chances of someone skimming that and then going somewhere else? And if I have an opposition to Amazon's online shopping, why am I going to use their services?

Actually - i did at lot of shopping at other places useing wishlists from amazon. But I like the double bonus for my money - stuff and politics I prefer.

Why Monday's Daily Show was a repeat.

We get bonuses (if at all) sometime in the spring. We shall see.

Had a meeting with my boss in which she finally raised the illness question. I reminded her I'd not taken a sick day this whole time, and in fact was working from the ER when I had to go in. I explained the whole 1-3 (yeah, we're up to three some days) migraines a day thing, and that I was making sure I was getting everything done -- I might not be present, but I was dependable.

It's hard to read her, but when we discussed other work responsibilities I could take on, she did mention taking into account what of them I could do from home.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

We get our bonus and raises on 12/31.

My Looniversity never gives bonuses. Ever. I used to love the $25.00 personal check I got at my first job for a Christmas bonus.

I still haven't spent the bonus I got a year ago, which was supposed to go towards fixing up my apartment.

bonus - DH is at an 'all-hands' meeting now. His boss said it was nothing to worry about. So I suggested that maybe there was a bonus. We laughed and went on with life. ( 3 years ago there was a 3% wage cut and a wage freeze ever since)
