Free money!
Today had a very cool thing in it. Magnus has been doing these training things for selling Microsoft products at work, and you accumulate points from it. (You can accumulate lots of points if you sell lots of stuff, but that's.. well, not happening.) Then you can redeem the points for merchandise.. and quite the variety of stuff, too! We were looking at a VCR and had a bunch of possibilities for what to spend the rest of the points on, including a small digital camera, some kind of fancy tool thing, a $25 gift certificate to Red Lobster, a cordless phone, etc. Anyway, then we realized that we could get two $100 gift cards for JCPenney.. and then we could pick out exactly what we wanted, and it gives us an excuse to go shopping! We don't actually shop at JCPenney much, but then, we've never had a free $200 to spend there, either. *bounce*
Also, the cards will be shipped directly to our house and not to his work.. which is good, because tomorrow is the next day of reckoning. We have reasoned that all firings will be done on Thursdays, to suit the boss's wife's idea of Order. Everyone is afraid that they'll be next. M and I can't decide whether or not it'll be him, but fear not, we're not worried about it either way. Although.. I must say that it's a little disconcerting to sit at work thinking, every time my cell phone rings, "oh, I wonder if he still has a job?" :)
And speaking of money.. I got paid today for the work on the Silver Angel site.. they came into the store today to drop it off and pick up some disks. They seemed pleased, which was especially nice. That site came together very nicely from the very beginning.. it's easier to make something look good if you start out with a product that looks as nice as those mandolins do. I don't even like mandolins all that much and wouldn't mind having the orangey one. :)
I'll be working tomorrow, I guess, although it wasn't discussed. I might try to get Friday off just to pick up around the house and rest a little bit.. we've talked about having a big yard sale on Saturday, which means that the weekend is shot. And the big question of the night is.. why am I not asleep already?
