i have received 3 pleasant surprises this week.

1. monday ceo comes into my office and says 'every holiday we like to give out giftcards to employees and you've been here not even a year so you get $100. there is one rule though - spend it on yourself and only yourself' and handed me an amex gc.

2. yesterday my manager comes in my office and tells me that the company has been doing good this year and to expect a $2k bonus on the 28th. perfect timing since i'm buying new speakers.

3. today got a company email from the ceo saying that the company 401k contributions are jumping from 6% to 7%. and this is regardless of us putting anything in the 401k - they just do it whether you contribute 0% or 10%.

I have a dream that some day, somebody on the internets, just one somebody, will like me enough to give me a gift card.

I shall continue this dream.

Received a pm:
A fellow at poster that wishes to remain anonymous has given you a $20 Amazon gift certificate due to your contributions to this forum.
Mod which I won't name sent me this

First off thank you to whomever sent it.
Can't think of many contributions I've made though. Maybe just a random act of kindness?

Did you leave off a 0 because mine was more.

Yea I got one last year as well. I guess I have been naughty this year.

On a related note, one of my friends got involved with a place called RACK (random acts of Christmas kindness). They went around putting gift cards and the like on gas pumps, in stores, all over the place. Imagine pulling in to get gas and there is a Christmas card, candy cane and gift card taped to the pump!

That's going in my sig unless you send me a gift card.


Yeah, what rude said.

Rude, a few months ago, I was buying some beverages at a quick shop. Woman comes in with $1 for gas....

My good deed of the year, I pulled around beside her when she was at the pump and gave her $10. Amazing what a little to me is a lot to some.

Yeah right guys, I'm not falling for that shit again. Gift card first for extra services. None of that "I'll take care of you later" business.
