I got a bonus, but it was not huge (about 1/3 of a month's salary.)

 

[Halon451]

Thanks guys - it's a good day. I don't have to worry about the wife, because now I'm going to write a check for the following: the new fence, pay off the new furniture, the new garbage disposal for the kitchen (all these things have been getting between me and sonic bliss!), take her car to the shop to get the work done on it that it needs, new tile for the bathrooms, a dozen new roses, and a box of cupcakes (she loves cupcakes).

Then I'm going to plop my a$$ down in front of the computer and start ordering my new gear!

I'm just a little excited by the way...

Congrats! As an SVS sub owner, I can assure you that you are in for quite a treat!

Way to go, Halon. You'll love the SVS.

This is the second cool thread on year-end bonuses. What weak economy?!

I hate you Are we talking about an ultra or pb 12. Jk

 

[Halon451]

Ah, I haven't decided yet - I'm busy scanning all the details of each SVS sub. I may opt for the PB12-NSD to save a few more bucks for speakers, and I don't think I'll be terribly disappointed if I do.

Guys, this is my first holiday bonus, so I'm not trying to rub it in anyone's face, I'm just excited about it. I was in the military for eight years, and the last company I worked for had tight profit margins and didn't give out Christmas bonuses. Just thought I would share it with my new pals at AH.

I'm JEALOUS!!!

I wish I could be using my bonus check towards new home theater equipment. I'm allocating my bonus for a massive diamond ring.... 2nd time is a charm, eh?

You don't need to apologize. Just enjoy it if your single and hide it at all costs if there's a S.O or wife?

LOL... okay. You got me, I was just kidding. But when I post the pics of my new system, you'll just have to wonder where it all came from.

Now was Halon on line with Audioholics when the boss gave him the bonus? I can just hear: "Hey boss, yeah I'm working hard here, on this computer, ah wait, ah I'll be right there, ah......oh a bonus? Gee thanks, I mean really, I don't...I don't know what to say, ah..... BOSS: That's ok HALON, you do great work, everytime I pass by I see you're working on your computer, must be all that research you do, what's that technical site? Audioalcoholics? Anyway keep up the good work, oh and I expect a report on my desk Wednesday morning on the results of your research. Halon: Crap, what will I tell him? Maybe I can say I was forced into Audioholics by my analyst or maybe I can blame it on the stress, or I can tell him it's top secret research, besides the old loon doesn't know what goes on around here! BOSS: HALON! Yeees sir, I'll be right there. BOSS: Bring me some coffee. YYYeeeessss Sir, right away, sir!

And so goes the story of secret Audioholic Halon-Man.

BOSS: HALON! Yeees sir, I'll be right there. BOSS: Bring me some coffee. YYYeeeessss Sir, right away, sir!

Then, in his haste, he trips over the waste basket & the whole cup of flaming hot coffee lands right on the boss'es nuts

And so goes the story of secret Audioholic Halon-Man.

First off, man - I'm still laughing as I type. If I was a betting man, you know, I'd have to say I'm not the only Audioholic that spends a portion of his work day surfing through this forum!

Actually my boss is pretty cool and laid back, I've even showed him the forum from my desk. As long as the real work gets done he doesn't care. He's an old Navy guy as well, so at least I've got that going for me.

Here's a typical morning report:
Halon: Good morning boss.
Boss: Good morning H. What have you got for me?
Halon: Well, we've got three outages in California covered, the job in South Africa is on hold pending status of work visas, (Energy company) is requesting a billing statement for (name)'s recent demobilization, and I'm one step closer to deciding on which sub to buy.

You think I'm joking...
