I would think so. That's at least a couple of fancy drinks, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Should be, I guess? I know it's just a token gift, but I also think it can be awkward to get a big gift from your boss. Or is that just me and the silk blouse I got one time? (I loved the blouse, actually, but it was SO WEIRD as a present from my boss!)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I think I would find a personal gift like that a little weird. My boss usually gives us $40 or $50, but in cash or GC. The only time I got a personal gift (a top as well) from a boss, we were a really tiny place (like 4 or 5 of us, total), and even then it was a teensy bit awkward.
I would lean toward twentyish for the direct reports, but I think that may be part of ATM brainwashing to think of $20 as being the standard for everything.

Plei, I have come to the conclusion that the recruiters in our area (geographic and industry) are just ... kinda meh. There are so many candidates for any particular position that they can just haphazardly throw people at job openings and not do much else.
Yeah, pretty much.
At this point, I wish I had a ghost writer for cover letters. Life would be so much simpler if they just wrote themselves.

Yeah, that's fair. I don't want it to seem like nothing, but also not like I think it's Significant, you know?

$20 is enough to get a nice-not-cheap dinner.
Took Chumley to the V E T, vet tested his blood sugar twice and it was 114-116. Perhaps the cat is trying to gaslight me. But he got a urine sample and blood for testing, so we will see. He IS down .75 lb since his visit in October, so that may be significant.
Next, I'm off to a practical interview for Instacart where I do a shopping exercize for a trainer.
Hard to imagine I've spent months of days where nothing much happened. Suddenly everything is happening at once.

I lugged my last bag of change to the Coinstar machine. It was a giant bag of pennies. Over a thousand pennies. Now I can check that off on my To Do list and not let the penny situation happen again.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Last summer I gathered up all my change I had laying about and ended up with $200. (It took five years to accumulate.)

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I just switched three credit card bills over to paperless. I am excited about all of the paper I'm going to throw away.

Timelies all!
Got Hanukkah gifts for my parents while I was at Macy's for socks. Now I don't need to step foot in a mall for a while.
After dinner I am making a cheesecake for Gary's birthday party, which is tomorrow.
