I'd REALLY rather have the 2x annual salary bonus my friend who works for Citibank gets.
2x annual? What do they do for Citibank? Does it involve hiding bodies?

My sister gets a few bonuses a year from Intel that I would kill for, but she says she'd rather have my vacation time, instead. I do get a few weeks more than she does, which is nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently that's how it works in the World of Finance? Your base salary is kind of bullshit, because the bonuses are so big?

What do they do for Citibank? Does it involve hiding bodies?
And are they taking applications? I don't actually have experience, but I'm an awfully fast learner.

I'm not too sure if other cities have the dibs winter parking system
The city gets very cranky about it. I don't know that it is illegal per se, but they don't call it legal. So you can't call them to get them to enforce your chair/vacuum/dead potted plant barricade.

It would be really nice to get a bonus this year. I hadn't really realized how bad our finances were until I took over the home finances. Between gifts and travel, I don't think there will be enough money to pay all the bills this month.

A client just told me it was nice hearing my voice again. I'm sure he meant it as a benign compliment, but yo, I'm a little weirded out, here.
