I pay myself so all my bonus goes back into the business.
Maybe a new set of tires for all the vans. :)

Paying yourself ! It just dont get any better than that!! Old saying says if you work for yourself you only gotta work half a day, you can do what ever you want with the other 12 hours.:D By the way what would you recomend for the speedliner 17' 200hp

Re: Christmas Bonus What will you do?

After decades of not getting Christmas bonuses, I moved from the accounting/finance dept to marketing/planning this year......still no bonus but I did get 7 days for two at any Club Med in the U.S., Mexico or Carribean. Never been to Club Med (or any all-inclusive resort) - I've heard Turks & Caicos is nice - any recommendations?

Re: Christmas Bonus What will you do?

I got 2 grand. My wife took $1500 and handed me the other $500 and said "here's your half". :confused: Now, I may not be the SHARPEST tool in the shed, but even I know that's not half. Oh well, I can't complain too much, she's worth the extra thou. :D

I spent it all on seacast and fiberglass/resin

By the way, Seacast did an awesome thing for me. I realized later in the night after I had placed my original order that the drain plugs I ordered weren't going to be long enough, so I ordered the longer ones on a seperate order, as well as some more fiberglass mat just to be sure I had enough. By the time shipping was calculated, it came out to roughly $40. Well the next day they called me and saw that I had placed a second order and were wondering if there had been an issue with the first order. I explained that I miscalculated how long the drains should be, since my transom apparantly get's about a quarter inch to a half-inch thicker at the bottom. Anyway, to make a long story short, they cancelled the second order, and added the extra mat to the first order, and swapped out the drain plugs for the longer ones in the first order. Long story short, they saved me $30+!!! I mean holy cow, they didn't have to do that, but they did! What an incredible company. Just incredible.

I didn't exactly get a christmas bonus the 3Q Bonus came last week with the paycheck and I bought a Digital Camcorder with HDD widscreen. So far I love it and wouldn't have gotten anything else unless it was a boat, but I'm not in the nieghborhood for one at the moment.

Dead pig for a vegetarian, that's almost as good as this.

Actually you're correct. The company gives us a gift card for guess who, the company we work for. Have to spend it in our own place of employment.:mad::mad:
