big time. The first thought that went through my mind was I need to find a different job. The only thing holding me back is I like the people and atmosphere here. As an engineer anywhere else, I could get quarterly bonuses plus a Christmas one.

I'm pretty pissed. My boss said the CEO is stressed because he doesn't want people to be mad. Of course they're going to be mad. A lot of people count on it for christmas presents and such. Especially people like me, who live paycheck to paycheck.
I know what you mean man. Check to check sucks

Just found out my employer is not giving out any christmas bonus this year. We (engineering dept.) saved this company hundreds of thousands this year. At least give us something. Sorry, I had to vent somewhere.

5 more days...
Spent the last quarter century of my career as senior designer in an engineering department. Nobody at that company ever received a Christmas bonus except for a ham (and a turkey at Thanksgiving). Never bothered me because there never were any expectations. But I guess my ass would be chapped if the company usually gave out Christmas bonuses then didn't for some reason.

It sucks that they won't give out bonuses, but to have that as traditional in the past and then just NOT do it without saying anything so people can make other plans, is a stingy and chicken-shit thing to do. Dude should have let you know as early as possible. You could have made some orders with QVC and used their easy pay plan or something. Damn. It sucks ten times as bad to find out right here at the last minute, when you don't have time to react or plan.

I'm expecting to get a gift card from my boss, for my local vape shop. proly $100. idk what I will get.
a $50 mod for $90. or $30 in juice for $100. maybe a new RTA.
$100 in a B&M doesn't go far.
oh well, is what it is.

the good side. I will try some sample juices.


turns out, I didn't get a gift card. he said he went to buy one, but my shop doesn't have them. so I will just buy myself $100 worth of stuff online, yippy !

and gave my wife $100

Yeah, we got our “Success Sharing” checks at work...if we make anything above 95% of our planned goal, that money goes to the employees (en lieu of having a employee discount program), and out of the $13,500 our store received, I got a whole $45 and then it was taxed as a bonus, which was 40% or something and I end up less than $30 for a 6 month success sharing check. I’d almost have rather gotten nothing, because that’s just a freaking insult.
“Oh, thank you so much for your hard work...for the past 6 months you’ve been doing so well, we decided to give you enough money that will let you buy approximately a weeks worth of energy drinks out of the vending machines”. Corporate bean counters can bite my ass.
As for the thread topic, I don’t recall if I mentioned I got another gift for myself in...the Dead Rabbit RTA.

And of course, I bust the 4.5ml bubble glass for it immediately, but found a B&M locally that sells replacement glass and so I got one, so, now I have an impregnated Dead Rabbit RTA

Damn straight! You can’t even get this thing to intentionally leak (unless it’s from not having the glass securely in the correct place). I haven’t used anything but an RDA for so long that I made the mistake of purging before taking my hit and almost melted my face off with the way the air flow is angled on this thing, but it’s probably the best flavor chasing setup I’ve got, though I lost a bit of cloudage, the not having to constantly drip is definitely a big plus. I tried it out on the Mech I’m using at the moment (Purge Pyramid)

, but it just looked a bit wonky and I’m really trying to get myself back on the regulated bandwagon with my Voopoo Drag, so, that’s what I’m running it on...

Just got done opening what I actually got at my parents’ place and they said they had no clue as to what in the world I’m vaping, but they stole one of my Sony VTC5a’s and one of my iJoy 20700 batteries and got me 4 more of each. Batteries have a tendency to disappear around here, so, not all that much, but something I needed...
Merry Vapemass to all and to all a good cloud!

Can’t drop a bomb like that and not tell us what Mech it is you’ve got your eye on.
