My Bosses got me an iPod nano for Christmas.

:cry:

This working relationship started out TOTAL SHIT. In a little more than three years, it's become very, very good. I love the people I work for. (Not because they got me an iPod.)

:bounce:

Oh -- they also got me a book called How To Massage Your Cat. :rofl: Written by Alice M. Brock - of Alice's Restaurant.

6. Enjoy your new toy!

I'm sure you're gonna have a blast with it.
Sometimes technology can be a friend. :)

It's nice to hear that things are good at work for you. I can definitely relate. My working relationship has improved 110% in the past year alone.

Book sounds like a scream!

7. YAY! THAT ROCKS!

Did you get the 2gig or the 4gig model?

I "spoiled" myself for my birthday last fall and bought a 2gig Nano. Needless to say, it now follows me everywhere. I feel almost naked without it. I'll leave the cellphone at home, but not the iPod.

And you have to share whether or not the cat massaging works. I've heard it's very effective. :7

My boss told me that he forgot my envelope at his house, but that he would put it in the mail to me.

11. I got an ergonomic mouse pad

It's actually pretty sweet - feels better than my old pad. Works better than the cord, too.

Also got a new photo album from one of my co-workers. I'm filling it with photos from Camp Casey and the Grand Canyon.

21. How cool of them!

And how great that you love the people you work for. I'm fortunate enough to be in the same situation myself. The alternative sucks... but... I got squat for Christmas. :)

And the book is VERY sweet... shows that they really thought about you when picking a gift. :loveya:
