Christmas is going to be great. This is an answer to prayer, my friend Rocky has real bad skin cancer on his eye lid. He is going to need someone to drive him to Palm Springs and back for at least 2 months for surgery and chemo. So I prayed about it last nite, and the answer came in this mornings mail.
The back pay will be enough to buy a new car, so driving out to that small California desert town will not be a problem. There will also be enough money to help him out during his down time.
Praise The Lord!!!
Fuck cancer

Remembering I was low on copy paper I stopped at Staples. There, right near the door, was big pile of house brand copy paper packages, 5 reams, 2500 sheets, with a sign that made me laugh.

Copy Paper $9.99!!
After An Easy $17 Rebate!!
$26.99.

I got a second laugh when the cash register printed out a 49.5 inch receipt. Easy rebate? Oh really.
There's the actual receipt, some coupons, instructions for bitching online at the manager of this particular store, an offer to buy your old "qualifying" electronics for next to nothing, a chance to sign up for tons of spam, a second receipt for submitting to the rebate lords in Texas, the rebate form, and another foot of how you can do this all online instead of by mail.

So if I fill in the forms, in 4 to 6 weeks, JP Morgan-Chase or Metabank will bless me a Visa card preloaded with $17. And the fact that out the goodness of their vaults, will waive for six months the $3 a month service charge, gave me another guffaw.

Who knew paper shopping could be so entertaining.

Boss said "Good work Tone!" after I wrote a detailed email to a customer.

Thank you!

... and then followed up with ...

"As always!"

Thank you very much!

So simple so effective, I am always motivated by appreciation, and will do good work tomorrow.
