Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Today's snowstorm-that-didn't provoked a fun description in the Tribune of the "dibs" system of keeping your shoveled out parking spot on the Chicago residential streets, and the consequences of ignoring said calling of "dibs":
Oh my god, that's brilliant!
A lot of work, but....
Only a matter of time before Baltimorons try this, if they haven't already.
So, it's not snowing at ALL in Chicago?
Interesting.
My bonus is based on a performance plan that was set in March. Since part of it is sales, it won't be figured until mid- to late-Jan. I should get it in February.
Our bonus scheme used to be based on sales targets, which doesn't really motivate those of us in the development team.
Yeah, I remember trying to explain that to upper management in my last job--it sucks when your bonus is held hostage by other people with other priorities.
I want a milk steamer.
Nope. South of here, I think, but not loop and northside. It's pretty windy, though.
We got a slight dusting, sumi, but so far, that's it.
So, it's not snowing at ALL in Chicago?
It's misting. At least in Evanston.
It's been snowing lightly but steadily all day here. And it's windy.
Yeah, I've never worked anywhere that gave regular bonuses. Or raises, actually. Ah, nonprofits. I have gotten both bonuses and raises a couple of times, but only under special circumstances. I honestly don't think I've ever gotten a regular COLA.
We get $200--cash, which is nice. And a personal card for each of our 60+ employees from the owner of the comany. This year he said in my card that I was not only "incredibly great" at what I do, he considers me a friend.
