What Do You Want For Christmas?

^I seriously covet those cordless Dysons. It would make cleaning the house so much easier.
 
I know, especially with the way it converts to a hand-held. I want one so bad, but I'm not ready to spend $400 yet. I have been dropping hints for months, so we will see in a couple weeks.
 
As much as I sometimes complain about work, I actually do feel (somewhat) valued in my job. I get good benefits, I put in honest labor every day for a decent living, and I get along with most of my coworkers. That's good enough for me. :)

Our company was awesome for a while. I loved my job, and I felt appreciated.

Then our owner got a new girlfriend, who he then hired, and the two of them have been systematically driving the place into the ground. I've never seen something so great turn to shit quite like this. Literally every decision that they make is the opposite of what they should do.
 
My father has had 2 jobs where the founder's children really made things living hell, and my sister-in-law also went through something similar.

I have only ever worked for large corporations, and despite some of the petty politics you may see sometimes, they don't seem to have the same capacity to be destroyed by nepotism (or other forms of family/friend takeover problems).
 
I'm mainly asking for Gift Cards and tickets to a Warriors game and Giants games. Also would like Jeans, but it's really a "I don't need much" type of Christmas this year.
 
An assload of cash.

But in lieu of that, checks will do.

Nothing less than six digit figures, please.



:guffaw: :guffaw: :guffaw:

Ah, the Christmas Spirit! Just spilled my coffee at the "assload"!

Randy, I am curious. Just exactly how much is an "assload"?

Does it have any relation to "shitload", or "fuckload" or "fuckton"?!

Thank you very much for a well-needed and much-appreciated morning laugh! :techman:

You're welcome.:bolian:

And I really don't know how much an assload is. I just heard my brother use that expression once and have always liked it.

But you're right, maybe I should have said fuckton.


Now for some punk to show up with a wheelbarrow full of worthless, inflated foreign currency to start talk-radio lecturing you.

A job with a company that values their employees.

The winnah!

Meh. I still want money.

Who wouldn't?

Lots of people.
 
I certainly wouldn't mind a fuckton of money. I could help other people with it, not to mention help out my family and friends.

I've always dreamed off being able to just walk into a hospital, just pay all of someone's medical bills and then just walk out--being totally anonymous. Or find some incredibly poor neighborhood or town, and just pay everyone's utilities for a year. That would be awesome.
 
Earlier this year I was laid off, and the energy sector up here is in the toilet. So I would like a job for Christmas.

I've never been a big on the whole gift thing. I honestly get more joy and happiness out of finding the perfect gift for those in my life, than I do receiving them. It sounds silly, but I don't know how to receive gifts. I get all squirmy when I'm given a compliment, even. Random acts of kindness? Ugh. Those are the most difficult to process.

This Christmas, as money has gotten tight, I'm starting to feel really shitty for not being able to spend much on gifts, if any. It's just a rotten feeling.

So yeah. A job would alleviate some of the pressures I currently have. Get on it, Santa, or Baby Jesus, or whoever handles this sort of thing.
 
Just one thing, really. I want to spend quality time with the wife.

I don't really care what we do, as long as we're able to relax, wind down, and generally just be after a hectic couple of weeks now.

Yes, this! I'd go into a family restaurant and pay everyone's tab, or pay for the groceries of everyone in the line behind me. I'd stand in line at the pharmacy and pay for everyone's medications. Things like that would be so much fun to do when you've got a fuckton of money! :D
 
I'm tired of the annual "Let's pretend we care" season. Bring on my birthday! Even though I don't get anything, I like to be particularly smiley thinking it's "Me Day". But if I could get something from fantasy land...I want to be that family that gets a car with a big red bow on it :D
