We have therapy dogs in our building!
This is making me inappropriately happy.
Also, 1000s of extra roses - so I have roses on my desk.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

How long was the British royal family German?
Wasn't William of William and Mary German? Or at least Dutch?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
But the Royal family has been mostly German for ... well, it seems ever.
1714 in point of fact, when the Elector of Hanover was invited to become George I of Great Britain. There were several heirs with a closer blood claim to the throne, but none of them were Protestant. He was a great-grandson of James I on his mother's side, but other than that was pretty much pure German.
And AFAIK there's no Hapsburg in the British royal family, but I'm really only an expert up till about 1820.

Huh. Apparently my toaster has an alarm that goes off when something gets stuck in it and it can't pop back up.
Unfortunately, it didn't let me know soon enough to save the bagel from being completely black and also setting off the smoke detector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Laga, are you sure they mean you need to sell $2.00 worth of stuff to one person, and nothing to 99 other people, and in return they give you $200? And not $2.00 worth of stuff to each of those 100 people, totalling $200, which you get to keep?
I'm pretty sure. (except that it's a $100 reward per $2 item sold to 100 people) It does seem like a big reward (although the money goes into the employee discretionary fund to be spent on a party or something, we don't just get handed the cash) and I feel like smaller volume stores have a better chance at a bigger reward. We're in the top ten sellers in the circuit and I know we're not top ten in terms of attendance.
The thing I keep telling people is that unless we can keep to the current rate of sales, our reward will continue to decrease as the contest goes on. Instead of worrying about math formulas and rewards we could be concentrating on sales and we'll find out what our reward is after the contest is over.
