OT, do you take photos when your together to see how much you've changed over time? that would be fun to look back on- make a mini scrapbook for each of them with the same photos in them - 10 pages of 5 years at a time

Sunny? you should take those pics if you havn't

it's wonderful to have friends so long - Cooler Crew is my friends

Absolutely, me2. We have entire albums that we bring to get-togethers. We're such geeks!

We take a vacation together every year. We usually go to someone's cabin, but have been to Kiawah Island near Charleston and Cannon Beach on the Pacific Coast in Washington state. In September we're going to Sun Valley, Idaho!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

They were awesome his afternoon... the unexpected long show made it all worth the unbelievable amount 2 tickets cost (I am even more grateful for CM getting me Sabbath Tix!)

While you were at TSO I was at HSM :sheepish:

I wasn't alone anyway. I assume both shows were sold out.

We do. We take photos all the time. I was looking back at some of our group from like 3 years ago and laughing... i was wearing lettuce leaf colored capris and thought they were awesome.

  • sigh* the magic of photos to remind us that we all have fashion faux pauxs. Speaking of - I cut bangs the other day into my hair, everyone says it makes me look at least 5 years younger (which I suppose is a good thing right?) but I have a feeling I'll look at photos of myself in a few months and go... what the hell was I thinking? I have bangs! and they are short and whispy. which is totally strange.

    I didn't see anyone I knew.

    I called last week to see how lucky I was to order tickets in October/early November (I don't remember)... There were only restricted view seats left for both shows. Whenever I ordered tix I used the best seat option on the lower level. We got sec 106 row 9 seats 1&2. Actually ended up being excellent seats, with the light show and pyro. They even had performers down at our end... Was nice to not get forgotten about :smile:

    How was HSM?

    Glad you liked the show Z.

    High School Musical On Ice was pretty good as well. It was the only time I've been to an event where every single person was in there seat the entire time. I'd go up for a beer and there wouldn't be one single person in the corridor. Every seat was filled.

    Fun show though.

    we don't have caribou out here, but I'm into the tall starbucks gingerbread latte's with nonfat and sugarfree syrup (90 calories) when i go there, since thier plain black (my usual) always tastes burnt.

    oh, my enjoy (and the reason I popped in here)

    I have a 20yr old I'm teaching how to knit. It's strange, she's taken to me, and I feel like I have to be a good example or something cause she is young and impressionable.

    Accidentally seeing the amount of my holiday bonus buried deep in a forwarded e-mail concerning something else.

    I got a 50 dollar target gift card...

    actually, that's better than last year. Kind of.

    me2

    thats awesome cm

    vino? is that when the grape season is over or something? or the sales for the season kinda thing. Mark always gets his bonus in September, after the planting season is over and then $100 at Christmas where $60 goes back into the manager pot that gets gifts for the supervisors.

    KC, your boss must be a guy. Target gc? anything is appreciated Im sure, but come on, the most common basic no brainer idea.

    oh, and I don't get anything. the employees bring in cookies, m&m's and nuts to share.

    Actually, money would have been better, but yes, anything is better than nothing. Which is kind of what I expected to get this year.

    Love4Vino

    no, we get the actuals from previous year - our bonus is based on 1) our performance 2) our individual winery performance as a brand 3) the division we are in (i'm in fine wine,where sales are a little more sketchy than say the beer division) and 4) total overall company performance.

    besides getting a cash bonus (up to 5% of our annual salary) we also get a bonus 401k offering of 10-15% of our annual salary.

    I had to actually go to a Target store and buy my crew's gift cards with my own money ($800) while working at Target Financial Services. You'd think they had some cards laying around or something. It was nice they thought about the crew anyway. (I didn't get shit from them)

    My new account has been the best yet as far as bonuses go. Even better than Centennial Lakes. And they're made of that Edina money.
