Some of the folks on this forum know that my work has kept me quite the busy boy these past months. Working on a new project since first of the year with a lot of OT n stuff... I haven't spent much time on this forum posting (although I am still monitoring it every day so sit up straight you!), and a lot less time playing these days. In fact, I haven't actually played in a few weeks now.
Anyhoo, week before last my boss sends me an e-mail about a meeting appointment for me in his office to take place the next day. I'm wondering, "hmmm, wonder what's up wit dat?". So I reply asking what I should bring to the meeting? He replies that I don't need to bring anything, and also that it wasn't anything to be worried about.
So the next day I go into the meeting and find that my boss' boss is there as well. The meeting is short n sweet, they just wanted to let me know that I was doing a great job and they had a little "something" for me. My boss goes into a short little speech about what a great job I've been doing, and hands me an "acheivement award" (actually I don't remember exactly what it's called). I thank him and glance at the voucher, and am floored to see it's an award for $1000! I was really blown away (and told him exactly that).
That was really nice timing, too, because the very next week (last week), I was scheduled to take my girlfriend on a Carnival Cruise down to Cozomel, Mexico. That extra grand reallly came at the perfect time :)
So I've been working my butt off, but I really made up for it last Thursday through Monday of this week on that cruise. Oh yeah, the $450 bar tab we ran up on the cruise might have added to it a little bit :drink: Bass Ale at $4.50 a bottle really adds up at the end of a vacation.
