The Strange Sensations of a Solvent Company

Well, despite all of my negative expectations regarding the subject, we not only got our yearly bonuses today, but they were much higher than I was expecting. The past two quarterly meetings the execs were setting up everyone for disappointment, but I guess some business worked out earlier than planned and we ended up hitting our goals and even maxing out a few categories. So I got a 5.7% bonus, but that’s of my pro-rated salary for last year (since I started in March). That still works out to quite a pretty penny, which I will use to line up the last stake in my credit card debt, which will subsequently fall to zero next month. I called today to cancel my old Parda FCU accounts and credit card (from when I worked at Warner-Lambert). When I got that credit card I needed to have an account with them, so I opened a savings account with 5 dollars in 1996. In 8-9 years I earned a whopping 69 cents in interest. :)
