I got a Flip HD video camera one year from my boss. All 11 of his direct reports got one. Wasn't expecting it, and it was appreciated. Same boss is now succeeding the CEO at my old company.
Current job? I'm lucky to get Christmas off.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I want a new iPod, but that's just me. BUT IF MY BOSS IS LURKING, I would love it!

I want a new iPod and a Kindle Paperwhite. But not a pony: the St. Bernard is difficult enough to clean up after.
I gave someone some help with something this morning and now I'm apparently running that project. WTF. Sigh.
ION, my big crazy project that I've been stressed out about for the last few months has been let! Which means I'm mostly off the hook: everything now is up to contracting and engineering. I just hope it works (and that coastal Oregon has a mild winter).

I just ordered the Paperwhite. Or rather, I ordered a while ago but it just came off backorder. If I like it my sister gets my regular one.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I do not think these guys are big readers, plus I know at least one of them has an iPad.
I did put both the nano and iTouch on the over $100 list.

This is one of the weirder campaign ads I've seen. Don't vote for the other guy! He's got a bunch of degrees from well-known universities, and he eats corn dogs! [link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Love the emergency radio suggestion. Myself I would appreciate an emergency kit, since I'm shopping them right now. The kind of thing everyone could use but doesn't want to invest in. Not terribly romantic though.

Thrive to spite them
I get the Don't Vote for This Guy because he's an ENVIORNMENTALIST!!! and also likes the UN ! (which means he's probably in on Obama's plan to hand over control of the US to the UN and ban all cars and stuff).
Whereas Our Chick stayed home and did respectable womnaly things.
I don't get the corn dog and drinking except maybe they were looking for some hookers and blow level dirt and that's the best they could come up with.
(Not just turn over the US to the UN but eat Corn Dogs and have a Jagger luge and scoff from his throne that the UN will give him!)
Or something.
