So apparently last week the partners got together and decided to help out the employees during this time of high gas prices. This morning I was given a $100 gas card for no reason other than to help in commuting costs. How awesome is that?
Since Denis paid for the bulk of the gas costs on the Disney trip, I’ll be giving this card to him (I think it took $70 for him to fill up in Florida – that’s INSANE). So this card will cover at least that one expense. I paid $40 to fill up my own car this morning. I remember (and miss) the days when it only took $30 – even $25! – to fill up my car’s gas tank. Oh well.
In any event, this $100 will help offset some of Denis’ Disney expense.
In other firm news, today has been a nice return to work day – Mr. BIL was out all morning, in for two hours, and is now out most of the afternoon. So I have been able to take the time to clear off the stuff on my desk, get out some things he needed out, and go through all the emails/voicemails that were left in my absence.
Oh, and this morning I won the firm’s plant of the month drawing – a dark rose Caladium. Every month our lobby is filled with fresh plants and at the end of the month there is a drawing to give them away to employees. This morning my name was drawn for the second time in two years for the caladium. Which is poisonous for cats. So I don’t know where I’ll be putting it.
