Now if my boss will just cough up a bonus I might be able to buy presents.
Actually, I braved Black Friday and got some shopping done
but still need some gifts.

Happy Kwanzahanikamus to all my FRiends.

That is great that you have such a long break, we finish work on 21st at about noon and go back on the 2nd January as 1st is a public holiday in Britain. There were so many no shows after the New Year celebrations that about 30 years ago the government declared New Year’s Day a public holiday. Scotland get an extra day to sober up :O).

We were also fortunate at work this year as the company decided to pay the balance of our profit related bonus this month they also pay us a week early so that there is still time to get some of our bits with the December pay check. We got paid yesterday so with my the profit related bonus and my Christmas bonus with employees who have been with the company 10 and over years get (3 days pay) I am about net 1200 dollars better off this month, certainly helps with the extra expense.

Made me cry when I saw how much the tax man took this month though 800.00 dollars.
