SkydiveStMarys 0 #1 December 22, 2006 I got a 30 min massage from my Boss at a really, REALLY nice day Spa!! Total surprize! Showed up for work, told me to drop everything and come with her. I thought, "What the hell is going on??!!" She drove me there and told me to, "enjoy myself and that I was done for the day. Enjoy the holidays and I'll see ya on the 2nd of Jan." WoW!! OBTW...it was really, REALLY NICE!BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #5 December 22, 2006 I would be VERY offended if my boss tried to massage me. He's not that attractive. They are WAY too stingy to give me an extra bonus. I have to wait until I go on vacation next time. THEN I'll get my bonus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
