I think this is the first time you've commented here!<br /><br />Rebecca: I heard a long time ago that most people have at least seven different jobs during their lifetime. <br /><br />Beaded Tail: I know I did a post about the Boston Trip but couldn't find it, even using the search feature. I was going to link to it. Anyhow, we found a couple very comfortable swivel rocking chairs Saturday that we bought to replace our broken one and worn one in our living room.<br /><br />Sandee: The company wanted him to spend it on something, not just put it in the bank. <br /><br />Ann in the Up: We were very surprised at what a big deal his company made about it. It certainly made him feel better about his job and company. <br /><br />Daisy: Thanks, Daisy!<br /><br />Cat Chat: It's nice to have steady work and it was a huge surprise. It really made him feel good.

Employers tend to not reward loyalty and employees tend to not stay that long! KUDOS TO BOTH!<br />Before I moved to Michigan I worked at The Plain Dealer for 21 and a half years. I got a clock for year 20 lol....<br />I think your ideas of how to spend your present are just wonderful and well-deserved, ENJOY!!!!Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-8243217350458637702011-07-25T17:49:33.868-04:002011-07-25T17:49:33.868-04:00Whoa!

I got so excited for him when I read about the Boston Red Sox game until I saw you turned it down. That would have been a great reason to travel! Still, the gifts he did get are wonderful and it'll be nice to be able to get what you want. Congrats again!<br /><br />And to answer your question, nope, I'm not appreciated one little bit and I am well aware of it. I'd spend an extra $1,000 on a trip! :)BeadedTailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662802836032167316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-40422192463990156172011-07-25T10:40:00.520-04:002011-07-25T10:40:00.520-04:00Wow!

I know my husband would love to be a "company man," but here in NY, it's impossible (unless you are a politician). All the businesses seem to close every couple of years! My husband has literally had dozens of jobs. <br /><br />Enjoy your prize! :)Rebeccahttp://freakyfrugalite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4556878706697309931.post-67789690330458561682011-07-25T05:54:26.724-04:002011-07-25T05:54:26.724-04:00WOW!!
