Default Happy New Year to ME- Sharkfund replenished

Hey my boss just walked out (didn't catch me on the 'list).

He told me the year-end numbers are in and I hit my goals. The shark fund is about 2 weeks away from a new infusion of cash. YES!

Hello new exhaust system! Maybe even a lift!

NJshark... way to go.

Now, nose back to grindstone... keep the economy steaming.
We retirees need the market up.

G'luck.

I'm on pins and needles waiting for our year end results. We are so close to achieving our goals it's not funny, but I no one can tell for sure.

Our financials won't be released until probably 10/22. If all goes well, I'll be calling Paul Champagne real soon.

Congratulations... and go spend before anyone else find out!

Lucky you!
I got the opposite news- County revenues are down so I'm on the chopping block for reduction in hours that will slam me in the order of +/- $25K next year. Which takes me out of the realm of affording to live, so I'm obviously job hunting and hoping to avoid a shark (and everything else) sale.

What's a bonus? - The same question I had until a few hours ago when the Pres. called and said I had earned a fat one for last year. As far back as I can remember (50 some years) I've never received one. Oh what a feeling.

Rumor has it that there's no bonus this year, but they say that every year so that the expectations are $0, but then they come up with a small bonus so everyone feels happy eventhough they really got screwed.

I've been out of sales for about a decade. Those were the days, when the bonus would exceed your salary. I need to find a company that will allow me to run it into the ground, so I can get a nice $200million golden parachute like the outgoing CEO at Home Depot.

I've decided those types of bonuses and parachutes require ongoing sexual favors without the benefit of gender choise. Now I don't feel as jealous.
