NWFlyer 2 #7 September 30, 2009 What does your corporate policy say about it? Where I work, we have very clearly defined rules about what we can and cannot accept. Even in the absence of those rules, I'd err on the side of not accepting a gift of that value."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shah269 0 #19 September 30, 2009 1) Check the books. 2) Check with HR. 3) Check with an accountant, you may have to pay taxes on this kind of gift. 4) Check to see if you own the right king of clothing for such an adventure. I suggest... http://www.kdoctv.net/images/magnum1.jpg 5) Can you tan? I mean really? Can you? and 6) Is she cute? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

guppie01 0 #20 September 30, 2009 Quote Make sure that there are 'No Strings' attached and then go for it. lol I politely declined... in all honesty I think she wants to hire me to run her office in Honolulu. We have talked about it before. She travels there every 3 weeks and she recently had a scare with ovarian cancer and wants to limit her travel time so she is seriously looking to hire someone. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"
